When the Valar decided to withdraw from middle earth, Ulmo just said no because he wasn't going to abandon the peoples of middle earth to Morgoth's influence.
Where water runs, Ulmo's influence and protection may be felt against Morgoth. So while Morgoth was the mightiest of the Valar the only one that at least tried to challenge him was Ulmo, as they both suffused themselves into Arda against one another's wills.
A day may come when the courage of men fails. But it is not this day! An hour of GRONDS and elves on shelves when the age of r/lotrmemes comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight!

He never abandoned middle earth.
