Demanding from someone something they have said they can't give is equally characteristic of abusive relationships.

Come on, the guy can't give more information except "well, I cannot work with you anymore"? After 6 years? That is ridiculous. The OP is clearly owed an explanation. A real explanation. Not some vague "well, it's really too bad" crap.
