Christine not only kissed his unmasked face, she slept with him, for Christ’s sake-multiple times, if the lyrics are to be believed. He has all the proof of love and acceptance he could ever possibly want, and he’s running out on it--he only has himself to blame for the fact that he's spent the last ten years sulking and making out with his My Size Christine doll.
Yeah. The Phantom lets Christine go in POTO because he loves her and doesn't want her to force him to stay with him because he believes she doesn't want him completely. So he finds out she does - and he can't think she's sleeping with him out of pity because she goes and finds him somehow (and where were Meg and Giry, and when was this, considering they were in such a rush to smuggle him out) - and he leaves her? The Phantom can be selfless, but not that selfless. Why would he turn his back on what he, and apparently what Chrstine wanted, all along?
Not only do they not refer to him as Erik, they don't even refer to him as "the Phantom". It's fitting, since it's not the same character at all I guess.
