I do believe in gut feelings. I feel he is more upset with himself, like that he let himself down. He does try to be a great friend to all his friends, a great son, a great brother, he tried and was a great boyfriend - so the fact he had to end it contradicts what he wanted to be? I don't know. I'm just bitter it's over and that we didn't try to make it work but I understand gut feelings bleh.
Stop talking to him. You're broken up and he needs to have zero to do with you and you with him.
Love is not enough to keep a relationship together and obviously he's figured that out. Now he just has to come to terms with you no longer being in his life (it takes time to do that and zero contact helps the process) as you have come to terms of him no longer being in your life and you can't do that when you're both being in each others lives. In view of that: Leave him alone and get on with your lives without each other in it.
