Men only leave if there’s an OW...?

I’m attracted to a guy and I’m trying to understand his relationship history. He has never broken up with a partner before, they have always broken up with him. First three girlfriends broke up with him after 2 years, 4 years and 6 months. He seems pretty fabulous and I don’t know why they broke up with him. Best case scenario the relationships had just run their course but why didn’t he ever do the splitting?

I know that on Mumsnet the general consensus is that married men only ever split up with their wives if there’s an OW to move on to. Is this the same with non-marital relationships? Did my friend not break up with them because he didn’t have someone lined up to move on to? Is this a pattern we see in men generally?

Thinking of when I have been dumped...
Time 1 = no other woman but scared of commitment after a 2 week relationship!
Time 2 = OW
Time 3 = getting back with ex so OW.
Time 4 = scared things were moving too fast.

I would love to hear people’s thoughts. Thanks.

He seems pretty fabulous.
He has never broken up with a partner.

Worst case scenario is that he presents a facade of 'Mr Nice Guy' to the world, but isn't actually very nice when he wants something but you are in his way.
