Because he realized, that she was over him. But he wasn't over her.
{I waited for the day, when she'd say "I will always love you"}
"I can't take this anymore!" Lucy yelled, stuffing her items into her suitcase. Natsu came up from behind her, slamming the case shut and preventing her from putting anymore in there.
"Lucy! Calm down!" Natsu yelled in panic, trying to prevent his wife from leaving. Lucy stopped and looked him right in the eye, angry tears pooling.
"No. Natsu I can't take this anymore. You're never here, you don't pick up, how do I know you're not cheating?" Lucy asked desperately, continuing to pack. Natsu ran his fingers through his hair, shaking his head.
"No, no, no, Luce. C'mon I would never cheat on you. I love you!" He pleaded, trying to stop her. Lucy huffed in annoyance, shaking tears in her eyes.
"I'm heading on the next plane to my parents. It'll be better this way." Lucy whispered, closing the door behind her. Natsu stared at the door for a few moments before snapping, screaming in anger and angst, pushing tables and chairs over. When he was finally finished he sighed, walking into their room and laying down.

Natsu stared at his phone with hollow eyes, feeling as if he were dead. He barely did anything anymore but work, which had got them into this problem in the first place. It had been a whole year since Lucy had left him and ten months since she had been 'promising' to come back. Natsu sighed, snapping his phone shut and running his hands through his hair.
"Mr. Dragneel, meeting tonight at six." The monotonous assistant addressed him over the com, to which he dismissed. He looked down to his phone once more, feeling his heart ache as he shakily brought it to his ear.
"Sorry I'm not here right now, please leave a message!" Lucy's bubbly voice called over the other end, making him feel dizzy. How he missed her voice and all in all her. He felt like a walking corpse.
"Hey Lucy it's...me." Natsu started shakily, not sure how to get this out. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair again before continuing.
"Let's be honest with ourselves; you're not coming back." Natsu's voice cracked slightly, pain shooting through him. But he knew he couldn't back out now, not after a full year.
"And...I know that you probably don't want to see me anymore. And I get it, but I just have to say that I would never cheat on you because I love you. I'm sorry Luce." Natsu's voice gradually fell silent, tears falling down his face in distress. He snapped the phone shut after a minute of quietly sobbing, trying to pull himself together.
