This is to be expected when you have close ties in the USA. It is believed that you
will attempt to enter the US with immigrant intent when entering as a non-immigrant
which is not permitted on a B2 including on Visa Waiver.
The only way around this is to prove your ties to the UK - a lease for a home,
utility bills, proof of employment etc., but even then the chances are slim. The
only way around this is to plan to get married and have her file for a fiance visa
for you ... you can enter the US and then have 90 days to get married.

How often did you travel on the visa waiver? A rule of thumb is that you should not
use it more than once or twice a year. Otherwise, they may suspect immigration
intent. And, yes, you probably will have to get a visa to be able to travel to the US
in the future. For people in visa waiver countries it often isn't easy to even get a
visitor visa, since they know that only people with problems in the past need one.
Oh, and please use better punctuation. Your post is really hard to read.

Maybe it's because you don't use punctuation marks, or capitalization.
