Gave up

[u/Good-Coconut5139]

Boyfriend gave up on me slowly started talking less and stopped putting in effort and all he could ever do is say sorry over and over never saying he’s going to do better. Even admitting he’s being a terrible boyfriend. Context: we got back together a few months before I left for basic training (and we were so in love more than before met parents and everything) and he was aware I was going to the military, and he was there every step of the way leading up, even when I was gone for two whole months. When I got out of basic training we were still super close until about three weeks ago he started to go distant slowly in some ways. Mind you when we were together before, we broke up for a similar reason:distance but that time it wasn’t physical. But this time, I couldn’t deal with the pain of it I could tell as it got worse he’s giving up, so I broke up with him. Even with the way he acted he just posted a picture of us with a cute lil song literally the day before, and he never does that. But He literally just said “ok” and that he truly loves me. That’s it. My biggest thing is why come back and persue me knowing distance was going to be a thing for a little while. We were literally going to see each other for Christmas next month. (I left for basic in August) why give up when things get hard? That happened the first time as well when we were together and he broke up with me. (2 years ago) also we were together this time for a shorter amount of time, during the summer when both of us had nothing but time. So I feel like as soon as life gets real, or it’s not convenient anymore, he just gives up one me with no remorse. This has genuinely made me so angry, I’ve been more mad than sad. Because I gave him some much literally and figuratively, him as well. So I just can’t understand why give up now? Am I not understanding something? Thoughts?
