It appears you wanted him to resist, at least a little, to express that he values what he is losing. If you had been at a point where you were completely done with him and you wanted him out of our life as peacefully and as amicably as possible, he response would have been a relief rather than a cause to view him unfavorably. Perhaps he is truly heartless, but perhaps he let you have what you want to allow you to be happy and went on with his life. You didn't mention any pettiness or a sense of throwing the new woman in your face. Perhaps he was ready earlier than you were. Perhaps he should have done some soul-searching to figure out where he went wrong, but it sounds like you both made a choice, he accepted it, and you went your separate ways. Not all breakups are so amicable.

Don't feel guilty for doing what was right for you. He wasn't treating you in he way you could tolerate, so you left. That shows strength. Kudos to you.
