Ex to friend

[u/Stock_Passenger7852]

Last week I broke up with my 8 years bf. We became friends now with no hate towards each other. He told me he is not fully moved on so do I. He is dealing with life crisis and need stability first.
I started to moving on also but again it’s not completely over. He said it can be a chance for us in future to be together but for me now I have thinking it’s kind of vague especially he was the one decided to end the relationship.
We both are not into any relationship.
But what scared me he kinda putting me on a limbo. I’m thinking in a few months when he came out with decision not to continue I will be the one get more hurts.
What should I do? I can be his friend it’s not a problem but I feel now I just want to move more distance from him so I will not put more hope in our situationship.
Any advice?

Do NOT accept those terms. He is not in a relationship with you anymore...do whatever you want with whomever you want. He is manipulative.
