Long distance situationship HELP!

I am 25 F and my situationship is 27 M. We’ve been dating for more than a year now, and things have been rocky. He moved to his home country bc his tourist visa expired, which I understand I don’t want him to burn it. Then when he was in his home country nothing went right there was a war, no income and is behind his financial plans. He wanted to save up and try to find a career option. He kept going back and forth about coming back to America, and would consistently tell me that he doesn’t want me to wait for him to do me. Then he would talk about our future together, which would confuse me. Until recently he told me that he made a decision to stay in his home country. Now he’s regretting it, when he technically cut it off with me but is still contacting me and treating me like his gf. I’m not putting labels and honestly I don’t believe that he will come back bc he keeps saying “I want to come back I should have trusted you”. Now I’m acting single and feel so bad. I love him but I can’t stop my life for someone who is indecisive. Is it bad that I want to date others? I don’t know what I am to him, he tells me he loves me and doesn’t want to see others but yet tells me nothing is promised so wtf???
