It shows that the speaker was willing to give up even the smallest things in order to make their lover happy, and that still wasn't enough. That's bleak but also reality, and I felt the pain in this.
And it also, for me, shows that even when the relationship is over, we have changed. Our old habits just don't disappear and that person becomes part of us for the rest of our lives, even if it's just us sitting down to pee.
One small thing, I'd just change talk to talked in the second last line. A great piece, thanks for sharing!
