I think it's about staying in a relationship because of others expectations, possibly parents.
He seemed to have high expectations that she could change (I will never be what you want to see now)
She's letting him tell people that he tried (How long it was to get around to her side of town)
Letting him say that she let him down.
But they both knew it wouldn't work.
yes she never wanted him to leave, they both had to walk away.
