Reply to comment by kodapp in My partner of 5 years wants to move out but not break-up... I feel so defeated. by [deleted]

My guess is that he met someone - coworker, fellow student - with whom he connected intellectually, and now he's drawing unflattering comparisons to OP. He'll change his tune when he realizes that happy relationships are not built on intellectual connections alone...

Unfortunately most of them aren’t built solely on love either. I’m not saying it’s not a possibility that he’s a jerk, found someone else, whatever….but I think it’s also totally possible he just learned (unfortunately the hard way, through living together in a matchbox) that the two of them don’t click the way he needs. He may regret it later. I hope OP is beyond this by that too me if he does

That was my first thought too. He's been having deep conversations with someone else.
