How Did He Change So Quickly

It has been about a month since he isolated me. The last time I texted him was last Saturday when I dropped off the rest of his belongings. How did he go from standing in the rain at the front door because I was depressed, telling me how he loved it when I put my head his shoulder to saying these things were burdens. At the end of our relationship he said he didn't like being touched, he didn't like playing video games with me, he didn't like my movies, he hated being obligated to do things for me and kissing me. I feel like he tricked me but I think PTSD had some impact....
 
I think this switch is very common with PTSD; I know it happens often to me in my relationship. Also, not sure if he 'a a vet but if so I think that plays into the cold shoulder piece as well. I also get that a lot, like it doesn't really matter and "why are you so emotionally needy?" in regards to things you should me emotional about.
 
When we see change and when it actually happens are usually two different times. To you it might have seemed fast. But to him, it could have been going on long before, even simultaneously with the good memories you have.

He is a vet, and he's told me some horrible stories. I feel like he wanted a relationship, but in the end, just couldn't handle it.
