Yeah, very sad indeed. Proof that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a tough one to survive, let alone thrive.
I agree that explanation - it makes sense. Betrayal is very hard to recover from, particularly since it undermines not only the person's trust in others but their trust in themselves. "I trusted this person and they hurt me. How could I be so stupid?"
Even if he wanted to reach out to Phil for help, the evil monkey in his head (you know the one, it plays the bad tape) is probably saying "Don't. He'll just hurt you like that other person hurt you."
The evil monkey can be very loud and very convincing even when you know logically the evil monkey is full of it.
I'm not trying to excuse his bad behavior and choices, just saying it is a little more understandable about WHY he keeps making said bad choices and behavior.
