Was I asking for too much?

Y’all. First post ever and it’s this. 😭 I’m bummed about the situation, honestly. But a guy and I met last year and it didn’t work out and then he came back and tried again. I still had feelings so I let it all happen, and just like last year, I offered to pay for my stuff since day one. He lid for a couple dates and after that I’d cover myself because I know his income is less than mine. Almost $20 and hour less, so I always thought it fair to cover myself unless he offered and be modest when he does. So anyway, in the just under two months that that we lasted this second time, we’ve “broken it off” like twice because I felt like I poured into him and our relationship a whole lot more than him. He was super invested at the beginning, texting me often and matching my energy or whatever it’s called, and then once we began to get physical, he began to stop. To the point where he’d go hours and almost a day without texting me. We only continued that far because he said he wanted to try to make a relationship work, but there was no effort. The last straw was when we had an argument on a Sunday and I someone’s extending an olive branch by sending him some informational videos that same night to which you kind of responded, but then didn’t text me for two days. We were supposed to meet that following Wednesday, which we did, but only because I texted him near the end of the day confirming we were going to meet. I don’t know if I overreacted, but the whole relationship since we started getting physical seems to have gone downhill, as if he lost interest. Was I wrong to end it? Or do y’all agree that his behavior seems iffy? Sorry, massive narrative, but I kind of wanted to know what objective people think.
