Ex on holiday for 'space' with a girl

My on/off ex has been asking for space to decide what he wants, lots of history over a few years but not relevant to the story.

He has now booked a city break with a friend (female) and has said we'll speak when he's back. Can't decide if I'm being a mug to hang around and give him space or whether to move on. Obvs I'm concerned something happens between them when they're away - I don't think anything is going on right now since hes asked to talk to me when home

AIBU to be furious hes done this even though we're not together?

He’s keeping his options open.
Move on and forget him.
Do not lower yourself to do the “pick me” stuff.

He’s an ex he can do what he wants. But why are you hanging about waiting for him? Dont be a mug, you can do better!

Why’s he an on / off ex
absolutely bin him off, block and and stop being his just in case partner
Have some blooming self respect and stop waiting for him to make decisions
