<human>: I don't really understand the concept behind why she wants this at all, because I've always prioritized myself over her in nearly every situation. Similarly, I don't know how to implement steps to stop placing her on a pedestal.

I don't think I acquiesce much to her whims; I'm a fourth year electrical engineering student so it's not like I have all the time in the world to give to her already. I don't shower her in gifts or really go out of my way to spend time with her whenever possible, it's just that we happen to spend time together due to my sporadic workload.

I was thinking maybe it's because I place alot of the blame for the problems of the relationship on myself? But I'm not really sure why that'd make her use the words "on a pedestal". I feel like I'm really stuck between a rock and a hard place with no answers or even steps to get started, any advice would be welcome.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Girlfriend says I place her on a pedestal, but my words and actions are meant to simply communicate "I care about us". What do?
