Interesting. Who loved who? I'm thinking he loves himself. How 'bout reviewing the following ..... help me sort this out. Thanks.
"I treat you the way I do, not because I want anything, but because I feel like I am the best version of me when I am connected to you. I like that."

or this....

"I haven't asked, and have certainly not demanded, anything of you - including love or trust or sex. Just the opportunity to make you laugh, which - selfishly - brings me a lot of joy. And that best-version-of-me feeling."
