*Edit* You say 'anymore' as if this has actually worked for him in relationships in the past
Chris used to get toys (Transformers and Go Bots, as I recall) just for saying their names out loud. Barb used it as an attempt to bribe him into talking when he was silent. I think that's what @An Ounce of Vagina was referring to (correct me if I'm wrong).
While I don't think that directly informs him approach here, the logic is similar: He sees people on tv and in movies patch up relationships with a few words and immediately get back together. His autism prevents him from seeing the emotions at the core of those words, and thinks that all you have to do to get back together after breaking up is say a few designated words and it'll fix itself, like entering a cheat code.
