Situationship advice needed;

I (F28) have been seeing this guy (M29) for about 3 months. We are both traumatized individuals, and neither of us are the poster children for "mental health" but we both take our issues seriously and we're both getting help for them by going to therapy and journaling and stuff like that. In fact, that was one of our biggest things we bonded over is our healing, our progress we've made in our lives, all that we've been through, ect. We really have a lot in common and we relate to eachother in a very deep way, deeper than I've experienced before. He is so incredibly empathetic, kind, caring, and emotionally open and sensitive its incredibly attractive to me, and he says he is also very attracted to me as well (despite my issues). The issue is, he was previously in a 7 year relationship with his fiance, and she fell out of love with him, wanted to open their relationship, and turns out she was cheating on him in their relationship and left him and immediately got into a relationship with the guy she was cheating on him with. They broke up about a year ago. Then he had a rebound "relationship" with this girl that had a boyfriend but lovebombed him, adored him, promised to be with him forever, ect (he said he didn't believe her at the time but he was in such a broken and vunerable state he just wanted to be loved again) and he fell completely in love with her very shortly, and she switched up on him after a couple months of lovebombing and completely discarded him and did really messed up mind games to torment him and it was extremely traumatizing for him. That happened 3 months before he met me. Now after getting to know him, I really like him so much and I want to be with him and he says he wants to be in a relationship with me too but hes just too scared and traumatized right now to fully jump into anything, so we've been stuck in a situationship...i need help
