That's why he didn't tell Kim he was moving, that's why he took his sweet time breaking it off with Knives even though he was fully cheating on her by that point, and that's why he had no introspective ability until the end when his life basically fell apart.
He doesn't try, not until his back is completely against the wall anyway.
