Was my sister in the wrong

I'm writing this post on my behalf of my sister. She wants to know was she really unreasonable to do this.
The background story is she is a long term relationship for 6 years. She is her mid 30s. They don't have kids. There were trouble on both sides.
Anyway they never go away. My sister loves her holiday s. And he knows that and he never took her away. After 6 years in a relationship she got really resentful. And jealous of other people.

They don't live together. And they see each other a few hours at the weekend like Fri, sat, sun.

He doesn't do pubs. Cinemas, niteclubs. But he would bring her to the shops or to bingo. She loves her bingo.
She tried talking to him, coaxing him, being angry with him. Everything really to know no avail.
His response was we will. Or we look. Their sex life is a disaster TBH and they only do it in her moms house as she lives at home.
So the story is he came around to the house at 3.50 on Saturday.
They went to the shops and came home at 6. He sat in a chair and had the phone to his face ,(she hates that as he there but no there) and told her to put TV on.
Because her mom was away she had the house to her self. She realised the regular occurrence he will sit there until 8 and go home back to his house in which he shares with his family. That don't get on with my sister.
She asked why don't we go not ever go away he tutted and huffed. But he got really defensive and said he has his reasons.
And she mentioned to him that it's unfair that he never brought me away after 6 years. And said that that's is why I don't want to live with you or marry you.
And she said to him that if we don't go anywhere by the end of summer. Than I will leave you. And he replied
That he don't respond to threats and demanded to her to open the door so he stormed out
The reason why he don't want to go away with her about4 years ago they were thinking about going somewhere to Spain but never booked anything.
But her friend invited to Australia with her and she took it. And that was the reason why.
My sister is in bits and she suffers from low esteem issues she said she feels really bad

Hi well it's been nearly a week since she had any contact with him. So she was curious so she contacted him on facebook messenger so she can see he saw the message. He did and no reply and rang him and he ended the call. She a mess TBH constantly listening to their memories songs.
He has form of being of being cold.
Deep down she feel s maybe it's s right decision. But she can't believe that this ended over her wanting him to make an effort into the two of them going away. She feels like a bad wolf.

She isn't a bad wolf. She just wanted to do what other couples do. He seems determined to hold power by refusing (and she can't make him).

Hoping she can/could wear him down to change is a waste of time as she has spent so much time trying to no avail. It is good she is realizing this at last.

She should not settle for this.

As to her mum enjoying his company as well, and he is "charming" around her would perhaps suggest he has been playing two hands at once? Just guessing- so may be totally off base.

When you think she is redy, take her out somewhere and point out all the good looking guys she is now free to be in a relationship with.

When my heart was broken, that little realisation certainly helped the grieving process.
