Why would I ask him about it? Why would he have any reason to give me a truthful answer? What would I hope to gain from putting him on the spot or hearing him BS me or even hearing him tell me some surprising truth?

He's had loads of opportunities and time to tell what's really going on with him, and he is silent as a stone. He answers direct questions with grunts and I-don't-knows. He's given me no reason, nothing to understand, no closure, just that he doesn't want to be with me. So I've been approaching this all along as though "he doesn't want to be with me" is the only relevant reason. That hasn't changed.
