Requesting answers from the MEN only! What is the best way to possibly get him back?

I cared for my mom from 34 to 47 & she passed. Best thing that ever happened was the opportunity to love her ..I met a man 6 mos. after her passing. Admittedly, I was still in the caretaker mindset, & did way too much for him, cooking dinners 3 x's a week, cared for him when he was sick & got little acknowledgment back. Since I wasn't looking or expecting it to begin with I didn't notice right away. To his credit, he was the first to say "I love you", he displayed traits like..dropping everything to help me come & come w/me even to a dental appt & take me himself, he (was) affectionate, & did ask me, though unofficially.."to get married", & run off to Vegas. I am 48 he is 50. Neither if us had been married, he lost his mother at 7, admits not much female influence in his life. He found me & was looking for a mate but financially totally unprepared yet expected me to feel secure. I never asked him for anything, neither did he. He became distant. I got mad & broke up 3x's. He won't talk

If you tried to talk to him, then you've done all you can, and someone else will come along, or he'll come around.
