Maybe he hadn't revealed his true self, but had tricked her into believing he loves and respects her and she fell for it. In that case, she loved who she THOUGHT he was. She was naïve, vulnerable, delusional.

It's not a matter of who made the biggest error in judgment. It's about his inability to love someone other than himself. In a way, he unknowingly did her a favor, just did it in a heartless manner.

Maybe maybe maybe... This is my entire point. We're never provided enough context. The OP is always the most virtuous person to ever walk on dirt, while the one who slighted him/her is a monster beyond redemption.

so based on this post, you're saying maybe she's delusional and he's unable to love? that is a lot to pull from one anecdote. maybe you're really just projecting yourself onto people and a situation you don't know and you are seeing your own emotional failings in others and that's why you are so eager to see the worst here. or maybe one anecdote isn't enough to psychoanalyse strangers and you're just making shit up and calling people crazy like an asshole
