How do I end a friendship? Should I? I was going on dates with a neurotypical guy. We were talking about being official, but then, suddenly without warning, he listed a lot of problems that I never knew we had and said we should be friends. I told him that we could always work through them since most of them were simple/small issues and we should at least try to talk about them. Instead, he then said he's not over his ex, which is understandable, so I agreed to be friends. However, now that we're friends and he's gotten more comfortable, I'm learning he's not a very good person. Also, 3 days after ending it with me, he started having s3x with and dating another girl (to be fair, I'm also dating someone else). What confuses me is how, when it comes to me, he's not over his ex, but for her, he is. However, even ignoring that, I'm learning he's not a very good person. I do have a lot of fun talking to him and hanging out with him though. Should I stop being friends with him? Can I stay friends with him and just not be very close to him? If I should end it, do I tell him we aren't friends anymore, or just slowly fade away? Is there a way this can be fixed that I'm not seeing?

Very complicated indeed, I myself am not hard do this or do that, there's alotta grey area, but if it were me in this spacific situation, I would slowly distance myself especially since I know he's not a good person, then focus that energy on other relationships in my life weather it's romantic or platonic that I feel are more valuable in my mind, would I start being rude or harsh/cold absolutely not, but all things concidered, I would just tell them I'm not comfortable around them anymore and don't feel they value our friendship so it needs to end. But that is just me and if you feel like you will eventually come to that conclusion or a similar one, just explain how you feel and what is best for you. I'm not sure on your feelings or how you feel about certain dynamics so I will just urge you to do what you are comfortable doing and what is best for you emotionally and mentally. I wish you luck in whatever you decided to do, and you got this ♡

The replies suggest that you might need some space from this person. It's important to consider what's best for you and your well-being. If you decide to end the friendship, whether you tell him directly or slowly fade away depends on your comfort level and the dynamics of your relationship. There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer to this situation as it largely depends on your feelings and circumstances.
