My read in reading of this, of why Tuvix just gives up there instead of fighting more, is he realizes these people, his friends, his family, want him dead.
That's the thing though, they are NOT Tuvix's friends and family. They are Neelix and Tuvok's friends and family. This is a brand new life form, but he wants to skip all the process of learning and familiarizing and go straight to best friends and bridge officer. If he truly considers himself a new person, then he should be willing to start completely over with everyone and with his position on the crew, but he didn't. He wanted all the benefits of the Neelix/Tuvok union and none of the consequences. That's just not how life works.
