Getting over dude with 2 yr old.

Me and this dude has been talking for a while. He has a 2year old with his babymother. Him and his babymother had a one night stand and she decided to keep the baby. He’s said a lot of times he dont want to be with her and relationship with her is draining. He’s a good father, but he can’t seem to stand on his own. Something is always stopping him from having his own stuff. It’s like some bs is always happening causing him setbacks. Every time something happen I feel like he look back to his babymother and depend on her for stuff. He’s suppose to have been moved closer to me, and he was confident he was going to now that’s not happening. Recently it’s been a whole month after we talked and he texted me basically saying he’s trying to work things out with his bm and keep his family together. After a whole month which is the longest we ever been without talking he hit me with this. With it being the beginning of the year I believe he trying to better himself by going back to the mother of his child. I just want to be over him but my feelings run so deep for him, we’ve talked about a lot and planned a lot. He was wanting to start a business where he moved and he wanted my help and a lot more. All my friends want me to get over him because he’s no good but it’s so hard and I stay emotional. He’s even told my friends (I’m just now finding out) the way he feel about his bm and she threatened to put him for child support if he ever left her.
