i have a quick comment/question for lovethehub, it sounds like in your situation he was aware of issues and didn't seem to want to correct them or put the effort forth? Is that true? If it is I do understand your story and explanation a little better. In my case there was almost no warning.
I got a rude awakening in February. That was my eye opener. The first I heard of many of my faults. I immediately changed and turned into the overbearing pursuer because I felt guilty not knowing or fixing these things. That is what ultimately pushed her away in late May. She said she needs time and space which was a totally new eye opener because I didn't realize I was over doing it until then. By then she was already packing. I thought I did everything asked of me but I should have taken baby steps instead of jumping in head first.
I guess what I'm saying is in my case I would feel very betrayed because I wasn't given them warning signs (to my knowledge) it was dropped on my lap once about not being there enough and once because I was doing too much.
