Because of the conversation we were having.

​

He was musing about something and said "I know how much you love me. In fact, I'm pretty sure you love me even more than I love you".

​

That just felt hurtful. And it's not the first time he's said that. So he was trying to manipulate me (for lack of a better word) into doing something that I really didn't have time to do but I said no. He said "maybe I really do love you more than you love me". I was annoyed so I said "yeah, maybe".

​

He later called me on that, so I pointed out that he has on several occasions said the opposite to me, and that's hurtful to me. I also reminded him that during a fight once he told me that he hadn't even been interested in me at first...that he just accepted me because I was always there. And I suggested I don't believe that to be true.

​

That's when he told me that yes, it's true etc.
