Could you say why you chose that one? Are different meaning expressed between each version? And here, are there are two different meanings?

Would that be better rephrased as "Then why doesn't he want to see her?"

I don't see that. What I meant was that without the comma, the purpose of the sentence is to tell us why he doesn't want to see her. With the comma, it tells us that he doesn't want to see her and adds the reason.
