If the answers to these questions are NO then it may be best for you to move on:
1. Are you likely to get back together any time soon?
2. Can you emotionally afford to continue giving your emotions & body to him knowing that you might get wrapped up in him again, thus resulting in further hurt when he rejects you or moves onto someone else?
3. Does your inner gut, soul & intuition truly believe that sex with you is just some magical force vs. him being the typical guy who of course still likes sleeping with their ex?
4. If you found out he was sleeping with someone else/new AND/OR decided to start a new romantic situation with someone else, would you be happy for him & it not bother you?
You know yourself better than anyone. If your goal is to get AWAY from the situation for your emotional/mental sanity then it doesn't make logical OR emotional sense to keep giving/doing things that often bring 2 people CLOSER to 1 another.
Having feelings doesn't mean that you suddenly lose your ability to make smart decisions or turn down sex. Feelings make it harder, yes, but not impossible. Don't automatically assume that since the feelings haven't disappeared yet that it must mean he's still entitled to your mind, body, time & energy
He is no longer the person you're in a relationship with. Yes, I get that some people get back together & KNOW they're gonna get back together, thus the reason they never stop acting like boyfriend & girlfriend.
But the way you described this story sounds like this guy has called it quits for good. And if that's the case, then you should probably continue to pull back, not closer. For some reason, women tend to get way more emotionally invested in sex than men do. And when a guy is saying/doing all of the right things, it's easy for forget that those things are no substitute for commitment IF that's what you truly want/expect in return.
If your heart can't afford for you to find out later that you just gave up all your goods for nothing in the event that he never wants to be with you again OR moves onto someone else, then it will make more sense for you to cut ties completely moreso than not.

Virgo going to the bathroom to snort another line of cocaine.
For increased efficiency, you know.
