I just ended things with a great guy who revealed he's entirely not over his ex

Are you trolling? They are broken up. As I said, she moved out a few months ago. This was not our first time sleeping together, and sleepover refers to literally him staying over at my place (also not the first time). I went to his place for the first time the other day, and he most definitely lives there alone. He admitted to buying the place out of desperation to salvage to relationship, which obviously didn't work.

And yes, I was asking about sexual exclusivity and was clear that while we still get to know one another and decide if we're a good match, I'd like to not be sleeping with other people. Not friends with benefits as we were forming a romantic relationship.

I'm also a proponent of getting it all out there so you don't drag things out with later phone calls and texts. This was a guy I was building feelings for, and I'm not a cold hearted monster to kick him out if he starts crying, that's beyond ridiculous and immature and avoidant.

The conversation most definitely didn't go in his favor as I basically said I can't be a part of this whole you figure it out, which I'm sure he wishes wasn't the case, but respects me and knows me enough to know that's what I was going to do for myself. Sorry, but yes, you do have this all wrong.
