I agree. For a moment it looked like the mc might just be clinging to his ex because he was scared of dealing with this new reality all on his own. But now that he's found new courage to pull through by doing the job that he's always loved, he should become able to figure out whether he really liked his ex or just liked having someone to "shelter him".
I need the MC to move on to new love interests now. Like not saying it'd be easy or whatever, but the way the ex is responding to this and his new lover as well...it's more strain on the MC when he could just have a hottie like the CEO lol
