‘It was a lot of negativity and always complaining,’ the Flipping Out star said on his SirisXM radio show. ‘He’s had a lot of anxiety, a lot of frustration, and it got to a point where I felt that he was hyper-critical of me.’
Lewis said he ‘worked very hard in the relationship’ and ‘was very good to’ Anderson – who he began seeing in March of 2019 – but that certain aspects of the relationship were just not working out.
‘Look, I’ll be honest: Sometimes he bugs the s*** out of me – but the positive always outweighs the negative,’ Lewis said. ‘So I look past things and I let them go.’
He said that problems between he and his beau only got worse amid the lockdown in their native California amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
‘It’s been like weeks of negativity, and I found that it just started wearing on me,’ Lewis said. ‘And he just stopped communicating. So then I could feel him next to me, just angry, pouting, seething, resenting me.’

Lewis said that Anderson came to the conclusion that the romance had run its course, telling him, ‘I think we should break up.’
Said the Bravo personality: ‘It was his idea to break up, which I then agreed because I was just very, very frustrated.’
Lewis said that he didn’t feel appreciated or acknowledged in recent times with Anderson.
‘There was just a real lack of communication with us,’ Lewis said. ‘We speak two different languages. And for me, I need more affirmation and acknowledgement and those kinds of things once in awhile.
‘The beating me up and the hypercriticism, it just became suffocating to me.’
The union had plenty of ups and downs, as they had parted last June amid Lewis’s ongoing custody fight with ex Gage Edward over their three-year-old daughter Monroe.
The TV star said that all things considered, the split was relatively cordial.
‘I never have a good breakup: If I’m mad at you, it’s going to be easier for me to move on, and that’s my M.O., that’s my pattern,’ he said. ‘I took a few swipes, he took a few swipes, and then I checked my behavior.

‘So I said, “Look, you are a very nice, kind man and you have been such a positive influence on me over the last year and I’m really grateful and I appreciate how sweet and generous you’ve been with Monroe. And I wish you the best and I truly mean that, I truly mean that.” And so, I said, “Hopefully, eventually we can be friends.”‘
Lewis said he was proud of himself for taking the high road amid the uncomfortable split.
‘Normally I would just annihilate somebody and I would just blow everybody to pieces and that would be it,’ he said. ‘I’m hoping that he focuses on the nice things and the better parts of the text.’
