<human>: I dated someone on and off for about ten months. After about six months, at which time we were official and decently serious about each other, I told him that I loved him. I didn't need him to say it back to me at the time. I just wanted him to know

Fast forward a couple of months. Though I didn't need to hear it at the time I first said it, the prospect of being with someone who "doesn't believe in love" started to weigh on me. Though there were a variety of reasons the relationship wasn't working, that was definitely one of the biggest for me. 

I respect his belief that love is nothing more than a chemical signal with cultural connotations. I just don't think I could be with someone who doesn't believe in love and thinks saying I love you to their SO is an "unnecessary affectation" (his words)

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: my SO didn't believe in love/telling people he loved them, so I ended things. would you have done the same?
