He had wanted to break up with her for some time. It wasn’t that he didn’t love her. Rather, he was disintegrating psychologically, and he didn’t want to put her through that. He began faking a case of agoraphobia and canceling dates with her, hoping she would get tired of him and dump him. When she was invited to a Halloween party, she asked to him to accompany her, and he said no. She indicated that a former boyfriend of hers would be at the party — clearly a ruse to get him to come with her — but he would not relent. The next day on the telephone she told him that she had slept with her ex-boyfriend the previous night. He broke up with her and hung up the phone. Now he could fall apart all my himself.
