Why didn't Lundy tell Debra he was close to retiring?

In season 2 of Dexter , Debra meets and starts a relationship with Frank Lundy. This ends when Lundy goes to work his next case in Oregon. In season 4, Lundy is back in Miami having retired and is pursuing a case in his own time. My question is, why didn't Lundy tell Debra about his upcoming retirement plans to keep their relationship going? N.B. I am up to S4E1 Living the Dream , so please use spoiler tags where appropriate.

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

At the point when Lundy moves to Oregon, he doesn't realize that a couple of years later he might find a case that brings him back to Miami (post retirement). He's just does the right thing to not drag on something which doesn't have a future. At that moment he needs to leave and they might have the option to work it long distance or simply call it off.
