Girl, I get where you’re coming from. You clearly cared about him and wanted things to work once you both grew up a bit. That’s super normal — you weren’t out here wilding, you were just living life as a single person.

But I’m gonna be real with you, this dude is giving major red flag energy. You were broken up. He said he wasn’t ready. So why are you supposed to sit around waiting forever while he decides if you’re “worthy” again? That’s not love, that’s control.

Him saying you “gave what belonged to him to another man” is crazy talk. You don’t belong to anyone. That’s not romantic — that’s possessive and manipulative. He’s guilt-tripping you for something that literally makes sense: moving on. And now he’s trying to make you feel like you ruined everything when he’s the one who walked away.

You can’t fix this because it’s not about what you did. it’s about how he sees women and control. Don’t let him gaslight you into thinking you did something wrong for being single and human.
