Why do I feel like I am cheating on him even though we broke up months ago? Esch time I tried to talk to him he said we are separated already?

I met my ex around the end of 2019 and we were head over hills in love, at least that how it felt to me and I was genuinely in love and so devoted to him! We settled down quite quickly and I ended up pregnant within 6-7 months of the start of our relationship! I was so in love with my ex and it was the first time I felt loved and I fully trusted him I understand he was working and paying bills, keeping a roof over our head but he also went on a lot of vacation by himself (with his friends and maybe with another woman) throughout our relationship we started having a lot of issues specially after our daughter was born, I felt abandoned and had to do most things by myself whilst he was on trips enjoying his freedom and I was stuck at home with a screaming baby! He went to his country 3 times every year but did not take me and our baby with him! Like I said during the time we were together we had a lot of issues and constantly argued when we were in the same place he wasn’t helping me with our baby at all but always lectured me about how I should raise her or what I should! I was living like a single mum being in a relationship with him I know he was working and making money for us but I never felt close to him, he would never open up to me or talk to me as his partner, every weekend when he was at home with us he was talking with other people (friends, family) on the phone for hours or he would argue with his family over the phone for hours but he would never talk to me as a couple! We barely went on dates, in 3 years we went in maybe 8-10 dates! He would just come home and immediately take my clothes off and use me! We officially broke up in July 2023 and have not touched each other since! I am dating a new guy but I feel like I am cheating on my ex even tho he never cared about my feelings! I don’t want to hurt the new guy or lead him on but he is a great guy and gives me what I want from a relationship! What’s wrong with me? I also don’t feel attracted to anyone!
