Regrets breaking no contact

My ex (26m) broke up with me (26f) about 2 weeks ago after being together for about 2 years. He told me he doesn’t have the capacity just dont want to be in a relationship right now.

We actually had an almost break up a few months before this but we talked and he agreed to try again. But this time it was final and I could tell his decision was set. I think he’s going through a lot personally since his sibling is sick and he’s just not where he wants to be in life (which he opened up a few months before when we almost broke up the first time) and I think its been taking a toll on him. He felt bad that I was putting more into this relationship than him since he was struggling to even give me the bare minimum which was communication. And I don’t think he feels the same way anymore about me either because when I asked him why he kept telling me “I love you’s” but all he said was that he had lots of love and care for me and that he thought that the more he said it that the feelings would comeback but it didnt. I still asked if we can talk this through and work it out but he just told me he could call me after work to talk about it but his decision was final. So a few hours later the break up call I thought if his decision is set then there’s nothing more to talk about later so I just sent him i final message telling him that I respect his decision and that I wish him all the best and he replied with wishing me all the best as well.

However, the next day after our break up my ex reached out to my one of my close friend because the day of the break up my friend was looking at his account and liked one of his photos when we were together. So he first basically asked how I was but then he sent another message basically saying that he saw the like and thought that either we were stalking him or my friend wanted to sleep with him (she has a bf btw and he knows) but thought it was probably the first one and he did say he was a bit drunk at that time. At that moment I felt mad because of the disrespectful message to my friend but at the same time I couldn’t hate him. I know that alcohol and whatever his going through in his life does not excuse such actions especially after the breakup.

Fast forward to today, i was in no contact with him for 2 weeks until i met up with a friend. When we were together she was just asking how I was because she knew I was going through it. At one point when we were together she borrowed my phone and removed my ex from my instagram without my permission. I couldn’t get mad at her because I know she just doesn’t want to see me hurting anymore. While she was getting ready I sent a following request to my ex and my friend was upset but she told me she wont stop me because she already said her opinion about the whole situation. Later that night I sent a message to my ex about the whole unfollowing thing on instagram and he replied with i understand and thanked me for clearing it up and followed me back again.

We ended on good terms but idk if I made the right decision breaking no contact because I was doing so well holding myself back for 2 weeks of not messaging him or anything. I didnt want to unfollow or block him or anything like that because the 2 years I had with him was genuinely great at least from my pov.
