Ex, exes, relationship, love,

I've been friends with a guy for almost 5 months now, kind of seeing eachother, sleeping together and spending almost all of our weekends together, and I like him and he knows this.

But right now i'm kind of stressed and i feel like cutting my losses and walking away because no matter how much i try to be there for him he always talks about his ex and its making me really sad. Not intentionally, at least I don't think it is, but it really bothers me. Maybe its because i know he still talks to her on a daily basis. I've let him know that it doesnt make me feel good, but he's the kind of guy that's like "take it or leave it" which makes me feel like "you're really nothing special, i can have another you in a minute". I've asked him if he still loves his ex, and he replies "yes, i will always love her, she is going to have a special place in my heart forever." Which i understand cause i feel the same way about my ex (i've only ever had one) but i dont talk to him anymore and im completely over him.

But on the other side, He's really caring, and tons of fun but i don't think he's ready to move on. It's a shame because i think we could be good together. But maybe if i haven't been a priority yet, i dont think i ever will be. ne advice?...

    I think you understand the situation perfectly and know exactly what to do.
    He doesn't sound like he's ready for anybody right now, and from what you've said, I doubt he ever will be. Perhaps he thinks by being alone he can get her back out of pity, which never works. Or you could just be someone he's trying to make her jealous with. Either way, he's damaged goods.
    Go find someone who is more mature and with less baggage.

    Walk away, you have no idea if he's been seeing and sleeping with his ex. I think you're better off finding someone who is wanting something more serious. It just sounds like he's passing time with you.

    Sounds like he isn't completely over her. He is USING you as a pick-me-up. You shouldn't subject yourself to that shit. It doesn't sound like he is even ready for a new relationship anyway. So shove his 'take it or leave it' attitude up his ass then drop him on it.
