Personally I disagree slightly,

I think they've been fighting a lot, and she loves him so much she always forgives him, and lets him back.

Then one day she stands up to him, and he says he needs some space - 'funny how quick the milk turns sour' suggesting that he is able to do whatever he wants but as soon as she does it, he feels like she's destroyed him.

Then he wants some space, thinking she'll always be there, then when he goes back to her, she has decided she's better off without him and his love is weak and doesn't mean enough for the pain he causes.

My Interpretation
