Why? We don’t know anything about this guy. Maybe he was dumped because he was cheating on her, or abusing her, maybe he was kicked out because he hadn’t paid rent in six months.

Maybe it’s a dick move to assume the negatives. Maybe he has opportunity to learn a lesson. Maybe he’s on the verge of homelessness regardless. Maybe he’s still a fucking human.

probably because he’s willing to still take the trip even though his life seemingly went to the gutter.

Also he seems considerate enough to let the passenger know, and if it WAS his fault he seems understanding of it

The fact that he’s communicating his misfortune openly to a stranger kinda speaks against him being an asshole. I’ll give him the benefit and take that ride.
