Skylar asks Will to move to California with her. He refuses, then turns the fight on her, mocking her safe world and calling their relationship a fling. "You're afraid of me," he tells her. "You're afraid that I won't love you back." The fear he names is finally his own.
Skylar wants Will to come to California with her. Will says he can't: he has a job and he lives here. When she presses him about what he's scared of, he attacks instead, sneering at her safe life, her parents and the trust-fund future waiting for her. The fight ends when he tells her he doesn't love her.

and I won't be in your life.Will isn't arguing about California, and both of them know it. The trip is a test he has already decided to fail. Every time Skylar reaches for him, he converts her love into evidence of her privilege: "You live in this safe little world where no one challenges you." He accuses her of slumming, of a phase she'll outgrow. Then he says the thing that cuts both ways: "You're afraid of me. You're afraid that I won't love you back." When she answers that she's afraid too and still wants to try, he ends it on words that aren't true — "I don't love you."
You're afraid of me. You're afraid that I won't love you back.The line that turns the fight around: instead of answering what he's scared of, he names Skylar's fear of not being loved back — which is really his own.

He says he has a job and lives in Boston, but the real reason is fear. Leaving would mean risking the only life and identity he knows, so he sabotages the relationship instead.
He doesn't mean it. It's the fastest way to push her away and end the argument on his own terms, so he won't have to risk being loved and then left.
She pushes him hard about the future, but she also says she's scared too and still wants to try. Her question — what is he so afraid of — is the one he can't answer.
Yes. Even after he says he doesn't love her, she stays and asks for honesty, not a clean exit. Will is the one who walks away for now, though the film later has him come back.
