I have actually done something very similar myself and later very much regretted ending the relationship. At the time I was drowning in stress, though, and just trying to stay afloat. It's not that you are stressful - more just the existence of a relationship, particularly a long distance one.
That's my best guess.

Thanks. That's about my guess too. I know he shuts down when he is stressed. It also sounded to me as if he was making up excuses to break things off instead of giving me a reason or telling me about his frustrations so we could work them out.
Did you try to get back together with your ex? He cut me off on most social media, and apparently didn't hesitate to send me my stuff back that was still at his house.
