Hi Lucy888,

He will always feel this way whenever he gets in a relationship with someone more rich/successful/beautiful than he is. This is classic hallmark insecurity. He can’t handle your greatness. So much that he couldn’t handle acknowledging your birthday/anniversary. And then when you (rightfully) say, “Hey, buddy, I’m in a one-sided relationship here, can you step it up?” he internally freaked out.

It’s not a matter of him being filled with regrets. He is currently in Ego Survival Mode.

Maybe one day, years from now, when he is richer, has a great career, and is even better looking than he is now, he might cast a glance at his old contact list and think of you and what he had (now that he has deemed himself worthy to have it). Then he will feel regret.

Keep Being Yourself!
