conflicting messages from ex boyfriend

so me and my boyfriend were together for 2 years and broke up almost 18 months ago now and we broke up due to both of us going through our own personal problems and mutually deciding to take time apart to deal with these issues. since breaking up, every now and again we have been in contact where most of the time he will contact me first. and sometimes these phases will last a while and then we will go no contact again. more recently he has been talking to girls and tells me “he’s met the love of his life” after meeting them once or just talking a couple days. now he is in an offical relationship for the first time since we broke up with a girl he met less than 2 months ago and lived out of home with her for a couple of weeks which he wants out of home so badly due to family dynamics but can’t afford on his own where as soon as he moved back home he decided to unblock and message me to tell me he was thinking about me and wants to see me while also telling me he likes the girl and she’s nice. he will go from being keen as to see me to going i can’t i’m in a relationship. where this causes me to become anxious abo it losing him as through our contact we have built a great on and off friendship. i ended up seeing him in person to talk about our situation and he was super keen to be with me and was wanting to engage in intimacy where i didn’t since he’s in a relationship. where the next day says oh we should’ve just done it, not feeling bad for his girlfriend at all. where after a few days he decided to talk to her about how he feels they’ve moved to fast and how he feels about me and said he’s talk to me in a few days but would block me in the meantime. so i blocked him first with the intent to let him talk to her and contact him when that’s done. and also for my well-being not waiting around for his message. then as soon as a block him he unblocks my number and asks why i removed him. i didn’t respond and he continued to get my attention throughout the day. where he then sent a message that he spoke to her and that they are going to work through their own problems and that him and i “should go out seperate ways but will leave my number unblocked if i wish to reach out in the future” which i still haven’t replied and the day he said he would message me is coming up and i’m conflicted by his message. by him saying let’s go out seperate ways but then leaving an avenue for me to contact him if i want to. could this mean he may want to continue to contact me ?

Hi and thank you for posting.
I had a similar situation when i was 18. What helped me, was cutting off contact all together.
Its hard to move on whilst the past keeps knocking on the door.
And it will be hard at first, but it will get easier as time goes on.
The question i suppose you need to ask yourself is, do i want this person in my life? In any way..
Here if you need a chat
