I think I'm just not meant for relationships

Okay so I met my ex on a4a because I'm not out. In the beginning he was ok with it and promised he'd be patient but we didn't last two months because he was starting to get bored because we lived so far apart and I wasn't out. He claims he still has feelings for me but he's just scared because I'm not comfortable with myself but had we been around each other more I know we would be together and that's the problem. I shouldn't want to be with him because from the beginning he has never kept his word. The first time I met him he had a bottle of KY in the front seat but he didn't think I'd saw it. I overlooked because he's in college and I was like maybe he just keeps it here to hide it from his roomate.

I've told him in the past I always get cheated on and he said "well guys have needs" that was a huge red flag but because I'm so dumb I overlooked it. I confronted him about staying on a4a after he told me he was going to bed one night and to appease me and "help him" he deleted his page and I deleted mine. Well 2 weeks later he created another page and I suspected he would so I created a ghost page. He ended up telling me about it before I could confront him so he earned trust points back. So we decided to have an open relationship and he gave me his a4a password but 3 weeks after that he changed it so he could look for sex alone but I was still logged in his page so I could read the messages he sent. All he had to do was tell me when he was going to have sex but he never told me anything and from the sounds of the convos he was having it wasn't the first time he went looking for sex without telling me. We ended up because "he couldn't deal with me being closeted" but he still wants to be friends so we can work it out in the future when I'm ready.
But he also told me if a guy comes along that he likes he's not going to hold himself back. I feel stupid because I'm trying to be his friend but I don't know if I should, I feel like a placeholder. And he reassures me that he cares and all that but I don't believe him. I want to be his friend because I need gay friends and he's the only one I'm out to. But at the same time I feel it isn't healthy and I just need advice.

Should I cut off all communication with him or be a friend from a distance till my feelings are gone?
 
Make new friends. Have a coming out plan for yourself even if you don't think it will be anytime soon. Don't expect relationships every time you meet a guy. Being in the closet makes you very dependent. That can cause serious issues.
 
Thanks, and I'm trying to make new friends but the whole coming out thing is going to take a long while because I don't know if I want to. I mean I look at it like I'll tell whoever's important but the rest of the world would just judge me anyways.

TooGood,

I've bolded the above text as it speaks to your issues.

You have placed a hold on your life... so be it; that is your choice.

Your ex seems to have decided that he needs to get on with his life.

He seems to be going about breaking your sexual relationship in somewhat passive-aggressive ways. This, and your past 2 months together make it complicated to continue as friends in the short-term.

You both need time away from each other (3-6 months).

When the time comes and you're comfortable being friends with each other again; spend time with him as a friend with his friends, get comfortable with being yourself around him and them. You, he, and they can all help you in your coming out plans as they relate to those you care to let know... as for the rest of the world... meh!

In the meantime... SoreKnees' advice speaks true.

Best of luck,

Well coming out doesn't mean you have to announce it every time you meet someone. However, ideally you get to the point where those closest to you know your gay. It doesn't even mean you have to talk about it all the time, but you should be able to speak freely with close friends at the very least.

I would not be friends with this guy for a while and focus on making new friends. It will make it easier to have friendships when things aren't complicated by a history.

Cut it off and move on. He is clearly a slut not interested in a quality relationship but only interested in the quantity of cocks he can get from some hookup site. You can do better and you certainly deserve more than that!
 
Thanks for the advice everyone. I had an epiphany last night and realized I was just being dumb because during the course of our relationship, I started to kind of rush my "coming out" for him and it was never enough for him. He's selfish and stubborn. So last night we decided to not speak at all and I feel way better now because I know we would never be happy together, as friends or a couple.
 
^^ well done. ..| you were looking for different things in life. I'm glad you get rid of that.
 
And he came crawling back just now, I cannot express how good it feels to finally be the one who has control in a relationship. he admitted his wrongs and wrote me a poem and I gently let him down. He's been trying to talk to me more over the past few weeks and now I finally got to say what I wanted. Felt a huge burden being lifted from my heart :D. You don't screw the good ones over
