Emotional attachment

Hello,

I'd like to explain my situation and hope to get some help because I feel alone in this. I've been dating a guy for 1 and a half years. Our relationship was never serious or exclusive and we're also very good friends even before the relationship. It's been almost 5 months since the emotional attachment evolved a lot and he started to do a lot of things for me and my well-being and to support me to overcome very difficult moments in my life. Right after that, he told me once that he finds our relationship strange (a mix of friendship and emotional attachment) and he doesn't know if it's going to turn into something else and out of ego I told him that if he finds the relationship strange, it's because he thinks we're getting too attached that he doesn't need to worry because I don't see myself in a serious relationship (I said that out of ego because he said he doesn't want to get serious all the time). a few days later he decided to end the relationship, telling me that he felt very well with me and even sometimes felt feelings as if he loved me, but he wasn't moving towards a romantic relationship with me. Things got complicated after that because he still wanted to rebuild our friendship. I don't want to be too long but basically, a few days ago I learned from him that he'd gone out with someone else and that he was ready to try a relationship with her except that she's far away geographically and I saw that they talked every day and even a lot.

I don't know if his desire to stop came from the fact that he really doesn't want to continue with me or from the fact that he felt it wasn't possible because I'm closed to the idea and I hesitate to tell him the truth about my feelings and wishes! Help me because I'm lost ...
