Quoting lostlove: ...told me he never felt "that way" about me.
Yet you stated he use to make you feel special, like a "queen" years ago. Its hard to believe that he can make you feel like a special person, convince you and himself with his actions that you should become a married couple without ever having "those" feelings. It seems to me that his doubts that have developed in more recent years are still clouding his memories.
