he really just didn't want to hurt her feelings. I have no reason to believe he is a jerk and I don't mean to suggest that at all.

I also think that with some support he might have been encouraged to be honest with her about putting an end to their physical relationship. I know how I feel about people lying to me, and there doesn't have to be a physical or romantic relationship involved. My friends and family that know me best know not to give me a sugar coated version even if the truth will hurt my feelings and I love them for it. I am the same way with others even though it's harder on me. Honesty is best in the long run - deal with it or it will come back to bite you in the ass.
