Why do guys downgrade after leaving a decent girl?

Because this just happened to me. I did everything I could to make my relationship with him work. I tried to be there for him and be kind, despite the fact that he blew me off every weekend, blew off phone calls, practically ignored me at school, never texted or called just to say he was thinking about me, etc. Then he broke up with me because I stuck up for myself and wouldn't stand for his crap. And to top it all off, he's been spending time with a very atrocious-looking underclassmen girl with an annoying voice. I don't get it at all. Has this ever happened to anyone besides me? I just don't understand it.

We broke up about 4 weeks ago. About three weeks ago, he sent me a text message begging to still be able to talk to me, saying how "not hearing from me is killing him" and "he misses me, and thinks we should remain close because this seems too painful." I never responded. Is it a mistake to keep ignoring him? Will he try again? I really miss him, but I just don't know what to do anymore.
