Very Confused and Hurt

So I met this guy because our best friends are dating. We weren’t set up, we just happened to meet one night. Things were immediately great. We had such a strong connection and could talk about anything. In fact our friends had even mentioned to us separately that they were admittedly a little jealous about how well we hit it off (their relationship was still very new). We could talk about our feelings and be 100% honest with each other. He seemed so genuine. When we met, I was on a month long break from school. I am in my senior year of college and it eats up all my time. He is separated from his wife, but they share a baby together. He quit his job shortly after we started talking. He didn’t have a job for about a month so we spent a lot of time together and talked regularly. Right before I started school he was getting to ready to start a really demanding job. We talked about what that meant for us and how we wouldn’t be able to talk as much. We decided a relationship was not the best idea right now because we couldn’t be fully invested with how hectic our lives are. So I started school and he began his job. After 2 weeks, things felt really confusing for me because he pulled back a lot on talking to me. Even on days he was off we wouldn’t talk much and didn’t see each other a lot. He wouldn’t respond to me for half the day but would be on social media posting. I guess because we moved so fast in the beginning, going somewhat backwards in the relationship made me feel confused and insecure. I mean I had met his family, his baby, we spent a lot of time together it was basically like we were in a relationship. I mentioned how I was feeling to him without accusing him of anything, because it’s never been a problem before for us to talk about things. He said he wasn’t mad, but he felt like I wasn’t being understanding. He said he felt like I didn’t trust his intentions and that he didn’t appreciate me overthinking. I cannot help that I overthought things and again when I reached out to him I told him I just wanted to get his perspective on things. He said I should understand that his son is his number one priority. See in order to get partial custody he has to get his life together some. I told him I did understand that and supported that and that if he ever put me above his son or himself I wouldn’t respect him as much as I do. He told me he tells people what he feels 100% of the time and if he didn’t want me he would tell me. That he wouldn’t ghost me. I believe this because he was very honest with me and others in the short 2 months we were dating. So I tried to wrap up the issue and I apologized for overthinking and mentioned he had my support and I was proud of him for working hard at getting his life together. He never responded. I waited a day and he didn’t reach out. This was very unlike him. We both agreed that we didn’t care who reached out first as long as we got to speak. So I waited til the end of that day and messaged him saying I hoped he had a good day. Again he never responded. So I waited another day and told him I wanted to hear from him even if he feels we can’t do this anymore. I asked to meet up at the end of the week to give us time to think things over. He never responded. So at the end of the week I went out with some girl friends. I admit I had been posting more often on Snapchat than usual. I posted one picture of My best friend and I and he immediately unfriended me and her after viewing it. He then also left our group chat with me, him, and our 2 best friends. He seems angry but I don’t get why. I gave him the chance to talk through things and he never responded. His last words to me were that he didn’t understand how I thought he could ghost me. So why did he ghost me? Did he just need time to think before responding? I don’t feel like anything I did warranted me being ghosted or unfriended. I’m continuing to give him his space with the mindset that he doesn’t want to hear from me and things are too complicated in our personal lives to be work right now. I would like to give things another chance with this guy eventually. The connection was unlike anything I’ve ever had with anyone. I feel like if we tried again but moved slower that things wouldn’t be as confusing. I’d like to tell him this. Should I wait longer? Like until he reaches out to me? I’ve considered waiting until I’ve completed school in May to reach out because then that wouldn’t be an issue and maybe he’d be in a better place as well. But since our dating relationship was so short lived I didn’t know if that would be letting too much time pass? I also don’t know if he views things as too far gone and if he would even entertain the possibility of reconnecting in the future. That is why I’m unsure of whether to mention it now (like within the next week or two), wait for him to reach out, or just wait til months down the road.
