Did I make the right decision?

Hiii,

I met a really nice guy recently and we’ve been seeing each other almost every day since then. We’ve even slept together in the same bed almost every day for the past month, because he’s always over at my place. 
The issue I have is that he’s freshly out of the past relationship, and when we met there was still drama going on with his ex. His ex cheated on him, and his ex before also cheated on him, so he kinda has some trust issues now. He told me after 2 weeks, that he’s not ready for a serious relationship yet but he likes the vibe we currently have. He also wanted to make clear, that we’re not exclusive, in case he would meet another girl he finds attractive. But to clarify, he’s not that type of guy who would pick up a girl at a party. He just wants to have fun and wanted to make sure that we’re in an open situationship? and that he’s simply not ready to commit yet. 
I was kinda dumbfounded after that and told him the next day, that I wouldn’t like to be his placeholder or his rebound. And I said that I like him. I would only settle for dating exclusively or perhaps casual dating (which would exclude the possibility of becoming an actual couple). So at the end, we decided to break things off for now, so that he gets some time to heal and to take care of himself, because otherwise I would get to attached and I’m also afraid to get hurt by him.

But now I kinda regret my decision, because we actually like each other and even though he wanted have an open dating thing, I just know that he wouldn’t do it with other girls.

I’m overthinking again, but what do u think?

You want a relationship.  He doesn't.  The only thing you could do was walk away  

PS daily contact & all those sleep overs too early did not help.  You need time to build a relationship & you should gradually build toward daily contact.

Yes you did the right thing by walking away from him.  You're right you will get hurt.  Lucky for you that you haven't been seeing him long enough to get too attached.

I wouldn’t trust everything he says about his two girlfriends cheating on him. You hardly know him and he’s already exposed himself as some sort of playboy. For all you know it’s the other way around and he was chatting up or meeting women on the side while in a relationship.

Regardless of what he says the both of you disagree. 

Let go and find someone else worth your while.

Very good idea to stop seeing him now. 

You would almost certainly wind up hurt here.
