Serious mind games. To say that you shouldn't talk anymore and then change it into "well, we can still talk as friends" in the same breath--huh?! Loves you but can't leave his girlfriend--did you by any chance see a gun to his head? Was he restrained in any way? Was the woman strapped to his back? In any case, in my humble opinion, moving on is an excellent decision. These games will inflict some damage on your psychological well being.
To be honest, Justme, if I was in your situation, I would not even make any rules re: dating--I would stay away from the program completely and seek relationships elsewhere.
