[b]Datedish[/b] put it ever so bluntly 😆 but truthfully! This guy isn’t treating you the way I hope you’d want to be treated — and more importantly, expect to be treated.

I think you’re grasping at straws when you reference his saying that he’ll be in touch. I know you want him to be kind and caring, but when he wrote, “We’ll always have had what we had,” he’s telling you it’s over. He’ll be in touch again just like always, but when he is, I hope you’ll have a different outlook on life and be ready to only allow people who are respectful, loyal and healthy into your life. This guy isn’t a supporter of yours — and as [b]Datedish[/b] aptly remarked, if he felt close to you after dating for six years (or six minutes), he would have speed dialed you the minute his father had a stroke. He would have looked to you for comfort, guidance, and if nothing else, he would have wanted you to know what was happening in his life because you were important. Sadly, you’re not his first or second tier of friends (let alone girlfriends).

You can do much better for yourself. Read Think & Date LIke A Man (I know I sound like a broken record sometimes, but the books is really really good for people who want to adjust their dating behavior for the better.)
