Or maybe he's just not that into you.
Maybe he really, truly enjoys your company and affection for a limited amount of time, but he wants the freedom to pursue his other interests without encumbrance. In other words, he has a rapidly Diminishing Marginal Utility of You.
Maybe "you and him" are compatible with "here and now" but not with "there and then."
Perhaps you put out too easily and compromised your self-respect for a few moments of comfort. You thought about it as love and commitment and he saw it as a mutual exchange for a one-time deal which is repeated occasionally for the same benefit. Why should he value it any more than that?
"That which is obtained too cheaply is esteemed too lightly."
Dating, engagement, license, marriage, expensive ceremony, the "merge", picking the drapes, taking out garbage, putting up with "that time of the month", assuaging your easily bruised emotions, being a cuddle pillow, hanging out with your family, giving up hobbies...
Then children. Screaming infants, poopy diapers, bills, soccer practice, ballet class, PTA...
and after all that...
separation, divorce, legal bills, alimony, child support, supervised visitation, long-distance parenthood.
Why?!
