<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

This is a throwaway because of friends knowing my account, though they'll prob figure it out anyway.

So I met a guy at a work thing, and we really hit it off. We spent hours chatting, and there was a mutual click. 
After I left he texted me, so we continued to chat and met up. 

However, he just split up with his live in ex of several years, a week or so before meeting me. He said it had been a long time coming, they had been struggling for about half a year now.

I've currently told him he should probably get some space from me, to figure out what he wants to do in his life, and to wrap things up with his ex. 

The space thing is pretty hard, but manageable. However, I've been wondering, now I haven't spoken to him in a week.. how long would it take to move on from a relationship of 5 years?

Would it be better if I "set him free" and maybe call him in November or something, or would it be okay to start casually dating after a month or two?

I do feel like he should move out before seeing me more often, that would be unhealthy if he'd date me whilst living with her. He agrees but also says he thinks I'm amazing and he doesn't want to let me "get away". Help, please?
<bot>: met a great guy who just split with his live in ex. Still has to move out, how do I avoid being his rebound?
