Not over his ex?

I have recently been dating a new guy for a good while now, we have been doing relationship things and he's been treating me like a girlfriend, all well, I had a gut feeling something was wrong, so I called him up on it and there has been other women (chatting) he admitted it was wrong etc, but when asked about committing to me he's said he's not ready, to be in a relationship because he's still not over his ex, but doesn't want her back, I said I wanted to stop seeing him, but he doesn't, he's still contacting me everyday, I'm so so confused as I really like him, has anyone been in a similar spot?

If you want a relationship he's not the man for you. He's told you what he's capable of, please believe him. It is hard but your gut is telling you to move on; it'll be much easier to do so now than further down the line. There are plenty of men out there who will put you first.

You're right to want to stop seeing him and don't let him persuade you to keep in contact. I really don't believe the 'I'm not ready' if he was truly in that mindset he would not be dating anyone at all.

He just doesn't want a committed relationship until he finds the one he wants to be with, he's happy to use you and the other woman for the time being. Bin him off.

Tell him to stay away and block...

he is using you as a means of getting over his Ex.. don't be his emotional crutch whilst he shops around for his next long term girlfriend 🌸

He is blatantly asking you to agree to an open relationship. Which most women would refuse to do and they would block his sorry ass to kingdom come.

However he thinks he has a chance to get you to agree to it. Because you are still taking his calls and are confused over what his feelings are. That’s why he keeps trying.

I’m sorry but this isn’t even remotely confusing. He’s playing the field and you should get off the field.
