Promises are sometimes Falsehopes

We broke up 11 months already but I had believed that he will always be there for me. He promised to never love anyone else because he will be very busy chasing his dreams. He was a dreamer, I am too. In fact, I wanted to see us grow together but he insisted to grow alone to have the full focus. He is the first boyfriend I introduced to my parents. It takes really alot of gut to tell my parents. Most especially that I grow up in a filipino family. Very uptight and will choose education over building relationships. However, it changed my perspective that no matter how good the guy is, if he is not meant for me, he will break his promise. He will like someone else. I was happy seeing him falling in love but not the kind of love more than we had. It is kinda selfish tho but I had always asked him the things he does now to his new girlfriend. He never wanted me to join beauty pageants or even wear bikinis and post it in my fb wall. I was totally admiring how he see me as something 'precious'. Later on , I realized that it is not the kind of love I wanted. Seeing how supportive he is to his new girl who always post her beach body ( even not in the beaches) I wish he could be a little bit like that when we were together. All the things I wished he did to me is what he naturally do to the girl. I don't know now what made me feel bad. Him giving me falsehopes that after graduation I am still his girl or the fact that he gave the treatment that I always wanted him to do to me. Or am I too shallow? idk. Is it bad to hold the end of the promise he just said 11 months ago?
