I was in a long distance relationship about a month ago with a guy and I ended up dumping him after two months because he didn’t pay enough attention to me, and when he did, I felt like I was babysitting. He was driving me nuts, and I was done putting up with his mood swings. We stopped talking even though we wanted to be friends simply because he will get mad at me often for the smallest issues. Recently we’ve been talking and he’s expressed to me how much he wants me back in his life, but I have seen that he hasn’t changed. I know how I am supposed to be treated by a guy, and he doesn’t do it for me. I know for a fact that there is someone else better out there that is meant for me and me alone. But I feel bad for my ex. Should I wait for the right guy while being with my ex to make him happy and to keep me distracted? I’ve gone back and forth with myself and many friends with this issue. I feel like I’d be using him, but I know that he would be happy with me, and I do care about him. He doesn’t treat me badly, just not as great as I would expect. I’m stuck, and thinking about settling.
