Ex boyfriend making me go insane!

Last year I broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years because I had issues with trusting him when it came to alcohol, occasional drug use, and smoking. I didn't want any of that in my future. Well, he continued to call/text me all the time. I was still in love with him so I said we were never ruled out in the future. He would just have to prove himself. He said he doesnt think he could get back together with me if I slept with someone, I agreed. Well the summer went by and we still werent together, so I decided to start dating someone else. He found out and ended up coping the way I was worried about. I became pretty depressed and distant with my family. Well, about a month ago he decided to go to AA. Something, I encouraged before. He has been sober since and says he has a lot to tell me. But he doesnt want to tell me until hes ready. During an argument, he said he slept with someone else. I know we were broken up, but it hurt so bad to hear that. I dated a couple guys but all I thought of was my ex most of the time. I didnt engage in that activity because I was still in love with him. He said he regretted it and thats all he was going to say. Since I found out Ive been going insane, especially because I miss him and that he has actually changed. I have so many questions about what has happened, not just regaurding that topic, but with all that has happened. He is in no hurry to talk though because he says I just want to talk about the past. He is around all these positive people right now and his main concern is his sobriety and doesnt want to deal with my negativenss. Now he wants his space, something he had problems giving me. Part of me feels like I should just forget about him all together, but the other part wants to get answers from him even if I do have to wait. Sometimes moving on from the past involves talking about it. My family just thinks of me as a crab these days and none of them really know why. I havent been the same since the breakup. What do I do?

Honestly I would suggest doing your best to move on. I know it's difficult, but it's even harder to stay in limbo. Give him the space he wants and try dating other people. Eventually you will move on and find someone else. Or if you two were meant to be, you'll fall back together in the future. You're just torturing yourself waiting around for him.

Thank you very much for the advice. I appreciate it and think you're absolutely right.
