Is my ex confused or just need validation?

Dated my ex for almost a year. We did so much together in short time, traveling all the time , meeting friends and family, other adventures. We bought me expensive jewelry in the beginning and his family was like “we’ve never seen him do this for another girl.. he’s rlly stingy w his money” .. he seemed so into m.. anyway we had so much fun together. It wasn’t until the last couple of months of our relationship that things started to go downhill. Maybe I wasn’t validating him anymore. I know he cheated on his last ex but I think he learned from that but maybe since he couldn’t cheat to get more validation. What we it was he started making little jabs and then said I couldn’t take a joke. We were still traveling but there was some tension.

For 8 months after our breakup, he hasn’t left me alone. Granted, I did see him but I was never the one to reach out. He would blow up my phone and I even had to move away bc he’d show up at my apt an stuff and it wasn’t letting me move on. I know he dated some people after never briefly. Tbh, he still hasn’t left me alone. I know he got into some trouble with drinking and boating. Anyway he’s never seemed to give me a straight answer as to why he broke up with me. He said he didn’t know and I’m thinking that’s why he can’t leave me alone. But I am so sad over a year later. Do you think he’s just trying to use me or confused? I’ve tried so hard to understand but I’ve never received any real answers. He’s sent me 15+ unanswered texts since May when I finally decided to stop answering. Usually just asking if I’m alive.

Right before I stopped t communicating back, I asked if he still had feelings for me since he doesn’t leave me alone and he said “of course I do, but it’s a total turn off when you try to make me answer questions on the spot and I don't know what I want tbh “
