His ending equals new beginning...

As of Nov. 3 I am single.  He's been wanting me to move back but has been unable to "convince" me that things are better.  I know he's been working on some things and says we can tackle the remaining together, mostly cause he lacks the money to.  All I asked for from him was to sell me on why I should move back.  I told him I needed to hear that he loves me and how much.  That he was willing to do whatever it took to make this work.  We had this conversation previously and I emailed him also on what he means to me but as I thought he couldn't express his own emotions about me.  So on that night we were talking about Thanksgiving plans and he asked when I was moving back, said I was just waiting to hear that he loved me and such.  Said he couldn't do that, said have a nice life and hung up.  Before when he's hung up I've had to contact him by email or phone to apologize and "fix" things.  I know I am not asking for a lot and I am definitely not asking for too much.  I am hoping to be able to get to the feeling of starting over, new beginning of sorts and a clean slate but it's hard to put 8 years behind and have doubts of the situation.  I wish things were clearer for me and I hope that with all the research and articles that's come to me helps me and eases the "pain."
