Guy's Behavior

Why can he talk to friends but I can’t without him getting upset, even though we’re broken up?

So we dated for 2 1/2 years he broke up with me. We never really did the no contact rule we’ve been seeing each weekly since then here lately I stay at his place 3-4 nights in a row. Obviously we still go out he takes me around his family and friends still I mean literally like we never broke up. But I asked what are we doing and he says I don't know I don't know what o want yet. He’s talking to other “friends” bc he can bc he’s single he’s even said when I get upset about it and says you can talk to other guys to you’re single etc. I’m like really you’ll actually be okay with it and he says I mean you’re single. I said okay fine whatever days weeks pass by and I go hang out with a friend an actual friend that I have no intentions with and god knows if he does but never has disrespect me bc he knows I’m still in love with my boyfriend anyways my ex finds out and makes a big deal about it! Why? If he’s the one who told me to why does he get upset? Then he notices I stop, but he continues to talk to his “friends” dating apps and all and tries to hide it from me. He always tells me he loves me if I don’t contact him within 3 days he will get a hold of me. But to make plans about doing stuff it’s always me making the plans. Help? He says he doesn’t care if o go talk to guys but actions show different. And I ask fine if I walk away bc that’s what it seems like he wants “freedom” if I walk away will he be okay with it and he shrugs his shoulders and says no I don’t think so but if you’re gonna go I can’t stop you you’re single.
