There's not much to come back to in DBD.
I've played this game for 3 years and I think I've truly exhausted myself. This isn't a post of me being pissy after losing a game, screaming "IM QUITTING!". It's about the lack of genuine content that we get. The game has played the same for ages. Everybody uses the same perks (killer and survivor, no exceptions) and the newer mechanics aren't really interesting. Boons aren't very interactive, as I'm just holding M1 again or I'm hoping I stumble across one as killer. Scourge hooks are too rng related to really be useful, and even then they're usually just something to help with gens. And during the time that we aren't getting new gameplay content, we have over priced skins thrown at us that make iri shards useless, since a majority of the good skins can only be bought with auric cells.
The game in general needs to have a complete overhaul. Solo-que survivor is misery as your teammates can't really coordinate well against stronger killers where you need coordination. On top of that many of the teammates in solo-que are usually new so you can't rely on them too much.
Many of the weaker killers can't contest against survivors who know what they're doing. And then many other killers have really dull powers that don't change the flow of the game much. Neither are exclusive. So with this we're left with very few killers who are good but are actually fun to play with/against. So you have to choose between fun or winning, and fun stops being fun after you lose a bunch. And for anyone who knows what it's like to be on the receiving end of a killer who sweats the whole match; its hard to not feel bad while doing that.
I love this game, I really do. But I can only find enjoyment out of the same scenario for so long. It's been too long since we've had a killer who changes the game in an interesting way. Or anything that changes the game really. And with some of the recent decisions of bhvr I find it hard to support them. I feel like I've run out of reasons to continue playing. All good things come to an end, though. Maybe it's just time to go.

my reason to return is to look at david king's delectable abs

you make a good point

Just take a break and maybe try again later. That is what I do and it works.

No joke, I was on the fence for a long time regarding whether or not to get into DbD, and it was a combination of shirtless David and Autumn Beard Felix that convinced me.
Man-candy just gets me.

This game can really wear me out. Best thing you can do is take a break and then maybe come back for a few games and see how you feel than.

Is it just me or did they buff his chest hair?

This. I've taken many breaks from DBD, including a few I thought were the final ones. But I come back and find something to enjoy, even if only for a little while

I hear you. It's in the nature of this sort of rinse/repeat game, where after a while matches start to blend together and you feel like you are just retreading old ground with minor permutations - because you are.
It's a little better on Killer, as they all have quite different playstyles and you can mix things up further with wonky addons and perk builds. Survivor on the other hand...is mostly just the same 'character' reskinned, with the only variance coming in perks and your addon.
The survivor meta is also somewhat stale - you've got fewer 'bad' perks than killers (a lot more A and B tier) but there are a handful of perks that are just too good not to run. Dead Hard is probably the biggie.
However, if you aren't having fun - then a hiatus is probably in order. Go and enjoy some other games (I tend to revisit Path of Exile a lot, and the new Riftbreaker title is more fun than a jumping castle full of kittens) and come back when you fancy another go.
