So ex walked out on me and my 2yr old in September he moved in with parents. Now it’s January and he wants to slowly work on our relationship so we’ve been going for lunch some days. But now I’m doubtful I don’t feel anything towards him now I feel resentment. I wanted to try and go a family getaway with him and my daughter. He said maybe in a few months time but then he’s booking events and trips with his brother and his parents :/ he’s going abroad as well. It’s just hurtful he keeps fobbing me off and I feel for my daughter. I’m now at the point where I want to find someone else because I’m so sick of waiting for him when he’s not even putting in the effort to be a family again. I feel hurt and used he has sex with me and then leaves and acts all cold again :( I’ve been nothing but loving and ready to make it work but he’s not even trying yet he comes into my house and sits down like he owns the place

Not sure what you're asking - but from the headline I would agree he is using you. He certainly is not offering you what you need.
I'd suggest you stay on your own and focus on your daughter. Make your own little family - it doesn't matter if it doesn't look like a traditional one that you thought you'd have. It's better than swapping one useless man for another !

If he wanted to make it work he'd put the effort in, if he wanted to be with you he'd be there now.
Leave his crumbs on the table you're worth more than this.
Does he still see your daughter?

Based on what you've said, the phrase that springs to mind is having his cake and eating it. It also sounds like you're not even sure you want him back anyway? I'd move on.

There is no incentive to work on your relationship when he gets sex and plenty of boys time is there?
Holidays? Great ask him when he is getting dd's passport sorted... Cms. Claim now.
Back a way and take your 'treats' with you.

If someone wants to be with you OP, nothing will stop them. If they don't want to be with you, nothing can make them.
I think you need to embrace your family of 2 and make a good life for you and your daughter.
