Should I feel guilty for this?

[nessad]

Me and my ex boyfriend broke up 4 times in the span of 6 months of being together. He’s made it clear that he doesn’t want a relationship, but that he still loves me more than anything. He’s blamed every break up with me on his mental health. Our last break up was in April. Recently we’ve been back in communication and started working out at the gym together. We had sex, he told me he loved me, but still not wanting a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. I met another dude recently and today I kissed him. It was short, nothing intimate. But for some reason I have this guilt as if I did something wrong. I know my ex isn’t talking to other women, and that he just wants to be single. Not to mention our relationship was slightly toxic. I love my ex though. We’ve been through so much in such a short amount of time, and he trumps every guy to me. I told this new guy about my ex and that I still had feelings for him and he understood. But I can’t help but feel this guilt as if I cheated on my ex and we’re not even dating. I don’t want to kiss this other guy ever again. It was a mistake. But is it right for me to feel guilty for it? Or do I have every right to be with whoever I want considering he’s left me
4 times?

If your ex even tries to guilt you then run. In that case, he is just trying to manipulate you into getting both sex and emotional support without actually being held down by a relationship.

If someone doesn't want to be with you, you shouldn't want to be with them. Seek out new relationships.

Your boyfriend broke up with you and doesn't seem to want a commitment.
It's really sweet that you feel guilty, that's rare, but probably misplaced in this situation.
You are free to do as you please.

You both need to break up your both doing things horribly wrong what an awful relationship. And when you're in a commitment you don't go out kissing other guys

We’re not dating. There is no commitment.

Well there's a reason he left so often and actually left. If yous couldnt figure it out after 4 times yous didn't meet in the middle. Someone wasn't focused or untruthful.
