This is an excellent example of why we date people for a long time: Because people can "fake it" for months.

He was loving and attentive until he was sure you were hooked, now the real HIM is coming out. This is who he was all along. You need to hit the "Reset" button in your heart and realize the old guy never really existed, it was just a sales pitch. The actual "product" doesn't live up to the hype.

Well, it seems like he doesn't care about you or the relationship anymore. Try talking to him about it. If he doesn't change, break up. Life is too short to be in an unhappy relationship. Remember, every relationship starts off great, it takes a while to really get to know someone.
