I'm in 46 days no contact. My ex boyfriend broke up with me in April (I know that's awhile ago but hear me out) because he said we need to work on ourselves but then he said he has a different vision of the type of woman he wants despite his feelings for me in May, when I broke no contact. I end up removing him from instagram and he breadcrumbs me later in June by liking my posts from other apps and then requesting me again on Instagram and even liking my picture. I made the mistake of contacting him after this and then went the vicious cycle for months of him breadcrumbing me, texting me whenever he feels like it and only reaching out when he felt like he was losing me (I tagged two guys on instagram and he contacted me the next day). Finally, he admitted he will always care for me but doesn't want a relationship because he is focused on work and self improvement and that I'm free to go and find a different guy. I responded by telling him I feel like his convenience or backup option because I saw he made a tinder so clearly this is true he just won't openly admit it. I expressed I care about him too but feel taken for granted and that he gives me false hope with his texts , popping in and out of my life. Finally after this I went no contact from there and also removed him again for my the sake of my own mental health. Did I make the right decision and am I on the right track? I know I made some mistakes before but would like some feedback because I'm so confused and hurt. Thank you so much!
