Does my ex still want to be with me?

(I was inspired by nikkiiicee’s question below.)

My ex and I broke up in May of last year. I had been planning to leave for school in September (400 miles away) and he had been on the fence about coming with me. When it became clear he wasn’t coming, I ended things.

Despite some initial turmoil we managed to stay friends. I offered to get back together long-distance style in December and he vetoed.

As of the last time we spoke, he says he is still in love with me, still wants to be in love with me, and hopes we get married someday. But he feels that being in a relationship is not the best thing for him right now.

So, to borrow a turn of phrase: idk but ehh its whatever i mean…what shuld i do?
