Because its so totally OBVIOUS!

Why waste your time running through all possible motives?? Even if we determine how we "see" the world, that dont change the fact that an objective reality exists that is independent of our perception. In a nutshell:You dont create your own reality, reality imposes itself on you and the only choice you have is to acknowledge it or try to ignore it.
Might I add, IME women are notoriously dishonest and disingenuous when they end relationships. They often simply cut the other person and keep their true motivations concealed, perhaps not to hurt the guys feelings and/or to incite his wrath and envy.
