He knows very well
that
long distance
never works for him
unless there is
communication.
It does not need to be daily but more of perhaps updates every now and then. I guess he played by the rules too much when you told him, "I am right next door to you." I am pretty sure he did his best to stay when you were out. His heart tells him, "I am exhausted". What kept him grounded are the traumatic memories of experiences and feelings on being alone.
He is at the brink of giving up but who is he to spite on you? He does not know the real story behind your disappearances and ditches. I would still like you to know that as you randomly narrate your stories out of compensation, he hides through his "hahahs" and "It's cool". He believes in your promises and lies.
Where is his fault? How has he been lacking? Is he not growing anymore? If he did, he must be stepping way too far unintentionally. Has he been hurting her all along? The questions he raised to himself are driving him insane. What can he do?
Their relationship has cracks all along from the day they both took the oath. Definitely sooner, they are going to feel the stings and break apart. He closed himself from you out of respect, understanding, and consideration even if it is killing him. He wishes not to but the current her is pushing him to the end. He would not fight. She can throw any name drops to him. He would not dodge.
It is better if he is hated trusting that it eases things.
He is not "Humpty Dumpty".
His brokenness is incurable
yet
it what
makes
him whole.
