Advice please!!

My ex and I have been working together for two years now and throughout that we’ve been on/off fwb. Around April-July we dated and when I went to the Philippines for a whole month we made it work by FaceTiming and texting every chance we had. I thought he was the one, and he even told his best friend that he thinks I’m the one. He ended things around the middle of July because of rumors being spread around and I thought that was the end of our friendship, so I distanced myself. We talked a couple days after the break and he asked if we could stay friends bc he’d hate to lose me, and I honestly feel the same way. When I agreed he started crying (like fucking sobbing and said that he was just happy that I was talking to him again. I’m over him but recently we started messing around again and he always comes up to me and gives me the biggest hugs and acts goofy af. Feelings are obviously not involved as much anymore but we did say “I Love You” and everythang. We have matching rings that say “I love You 3000” (his request). Our rings were supposed to represent our promise to each other that if a year from now he was ready then we’d try again, but now they’re just a symbol of our frienship. The last thing he said when we went on our last date was “I want you to move on and be happy because you definitely deserve better but at the same time I don’t want to see you with anyone else.”

I want to wait for him but I know that I shouldn’t. I think that fwbs is where we’ll be at for now and I’m just gonna let the universe deal with the rest. Lmao I think I just answered my own question.
