But my words shattered his illusion.
When he realized that you would sacrifice personal time, even mask personal likes and dislikes for your career, your halo lost its effect on him.
Because what he wanted wasn't a girlfriend busier than him, one who's often sent on business trips by her boss, sometimes even using her looks to an extent.
He couldn't accept that.
But you, on the contrary, can accept it and see this situation as a reasonable exchange.
So from a subconscious level, there's a conflict in your values. Even if you were together, conflicts would arise due to choices between career and feelings.
Moreover, the resources he controls align perfectly with your needs, making it difficult for him to judge whether your friendliness and respect are because of his position and resources.
For a man who isn't strong or confident enough, this situation is quite disheartening.
