Get the ball rolling on detaching. I know it goes against everything you're feeling right now.
If you are happy, healthy, content and thriving all without him, that is what will get his attenion.
Stop sleeping with him. Not only for physical health reasons, but it's damaging as he's made it clear he's using you, and you are taking it as more.
03/06/20 is my bombaversary. It's almost been 3 years. It kind of feels like yesterday and 10 years at the same time. So when I tell you that I never imagined I'd be this happy, or that I'd ever actually get here, I mean it. But I am so grateful for what happened because I really learned who I was during this time. I learned my real worth, and saved myself a ton of issues later in life. I never got back with my ex, but I could have several times. You'd be surprised how often that happens.
Keep focused on yourself. Live in the moment, and don't worry about tomorrow. Today has enough to worry about. Is there an old passion project you can lose yourself in? An old hobby you lost touch with you can focus on?
