“She said she didn't love me anymore,” said Mr. Higgins. “She loved me but wasn't in love with me.
“There were a few complications in the relationship.”
An army investigation has already found intimidation that she received was a factor in her suspected suicide.
An earlier hearing was told that the manager of Gunner Beck, Bombardier Ryan Mason, was subject to 'ruthless' intimidation, a barrage of messages'.
Higgins was asked questions about his behavior by lawyer John Dyer, who represents Mr. Mason.
The former sergeant answered 'yes' and also said that he had the feeling that there was an 'equal balance' in terms of their rank.
The 30-year-old refused to answer questions regarding when he was sleeping for the first time with Gunner Beck or when he had slept with other recruits when he was questioned by Mr. Dyer.
Mr Higgins was a trainer at Harrogate, the Army Foundation College where Gunner Beck started her education at the age of 16 –

Mr Higgins said he was worried about the volume and content of messages that Gunner Beck received from Mr. Mason.
He said: “He sent her a lot of messages and she was worried about his mental health and was worried to upset him.
“She took it that he was always good. That was the kind of person she was … It was overbarrowing on his part. '
“From memory, he said he felt suicidal and had mental health problems and that it was her fault because of a lack of attention,” he said.
“He showed her a 30 -page document he had written.
“She had seen screenshots of it, I remember told me they were his fantasies about her.”
He remembered a time when they were sitting at his mother's dining table and he told Gunner Beck that Mr. Mason was' obsessed with her because he had sent her a stream of messages.
