Two years before you dumped him, he realized he wanted out of this relationship: he was bored, he wasn’t into you sexually anymore, he was different, you were different–whatever the reason, he wants out. But he can’t quite face it–the reality of breaking it off, that is, the moment of looking you in the eye and saying, “Honey, it’s over. Can I keep the car?” Maybe, perversely, he couldn’t face that moment because he didn’t want to hurt you. Or maybe he just didn’t want to have to start doing his own laundry again. But he nevertheless began to think of himself as single, since for him the relationship was over and dead, despite the fact that you were still living together–and still “officially” seeing each other.
