You’re subtly insinuating that the woman was being shallow or petty, when in fact, she could have just not wanted to move forward with the relationship.
Weird, I thought I was overtly insinuating that. It did happen the week after a 4+ year serious relationship ended, after all.
Why do you believe that the woman owes the man anything after ending the relationship? A woman is not obligated to feel emotionally conservative just because her former partner does.
