Is it normal not clear whether or not ex wants to start over?

My ex of one year said he missed me and that he's sorry things went wrong and wants to try again. What we had was wonderful, so I agreed.

We spoke on the phone and met up once and he kissed me. It got intense so I straight up said that's not how I want this to go and "I don't know if I can trust that you've changed". He apologized and said he got carried away and that taking it "day by day" is the best idea so that we know what we're getting back into because things have changed so much and honestly he doesn't know if he can trust that I've changed either.

After that night I had to go away for three weeks but he called as soon as I got back saying we should realllllly continue our conversation and I agreed. Three days go by, no call, than our friend was in a bad accident. We knew he was going to be okay, it was only a matter of patience. We all visited him at the hospital and my ex basically didn't talk to me, though his best friend kept pushing him to. He spoke to everybody else like nothing was up.

A few days later I decided to ask if he changed his mind about us and he said "No, it's just a f**cked up time". However, he's been partying like usual.

Should I give in when he is ready or do you think he is wasting my time??

    Man, I think the whole it's a tough time is a load of BS. If he really wanted you, it wouldn't be a big deal. I think he was probably just feeling lonely and wanted some sugar wall action. Hard to say, but put it this way - He's your ex for a reason

    He is wasting your time. Seems like he's waiting to see if you will wait on him like a sick control freak, and if you do wait untill "he" is ready, he will feel powerful and important like only his thoughts matter. He wants to see if things will only happen when it suites "him". Don't be a door mat, get rid of his ass.

    This is an awkward situation. All I can advise is right now, forget about him. You go out with your friends and party. If you find any guys you like, then great. Go out and do the things you enjoy. Carry on with your life.
    Just DO NOT contact him now. Ever. If he was being totally honest, he WILL contact you. So just leave it, do not put your life on hold for him and carry on.
