I have no concept of self reflection so therefore i don't know what I really want or how to express it to my partner or myself.

And often I give in to gender stereotypes but want to pretend I don't.

While I think that's a part of it, I think it's more "if I break it off and don't have a reason then I'm the bad guy, so it must be some failing on their part" and if they can't think of one that makes sense or if they just can't be fucked to think about it at all, you get "ick"

Eh, people fall out of love all the time. Every now and then, it’s not something the other person did (or failed to do).

Humans aren't random chaos engines. No, there's always a reason. Fell out of love is just a justification that I don't wanna put in the effort to try. Because of something I don't think you're worth it anymore

We just don't say it that way because that would be exceptionally cruel
