Ex, rebound relationship, what do I do?

Anonymous
So I met a guy dec 2019. Then the covid stuff happened he was in the USA I’m in Canada we are 30 mins from each other but couldn’t see each other.

we talked everyday and FaceTimed I told him how happy I was. We were basically dating but didn’t label it. This went on healthy until April 18/2021.

he has really bad anxiety, I was having a hard day I’m a nurse I worked like a weeks worth of nights and was grumpy and frustrated I still couldn’t see him and took it out on him.
I don't know what happened but he lost his job and we didn’t talk for a couple of weeks.

Come may we talked and he wanted to be intentional friends. I said I don’t want to lose him from my life and I still want to continue the plan that when the borders open we can date. He got a new job an hour away from his house but didn’t move. In late may he told me he met a girl at work that he really likes, but he isn’t ready to date or anything.
come end of June we were still talking but I could feel him pushing me away. I booked a flight to see him since I was off work and just had surgery. He told me the girl he was talking to is now his girlfriend.
This was my serious first long term over a year type of relationship, my heart is still shattered. I paid for an American nursing license and planned to move to the states in September/October for him.
it feels a lot like he’s in a rebound relationship to go from me to her so quickly and make it official so quickly doesn’t make any sense to me. We were so close for almost 2 years. Best friends. I told him I couldn’t continue to be his friend and that he’s hurt me really bad. I haven’t heard from him since.
the worst part is that I still miss him a lot and I still want things to work out. I’m sure with time I may change my mind. But if I did want him back what do I do?
