Does my boyfriend seem emotionally into his ex? They’ve been meeting up secretly behind my back and talking for hours.

She texted him this: Hey so is there like zero chance of whatever between us being like a thing? Like you’re very happy with your relationship status with your lady and you want something strictly platonic here?

He said: Without getting into detail, honestly my relationship feels like it is nearing its end. But to answer your question, I think it would be best to be platonic friends or at least have that mindset and have that be the expectation.

She said: Thanks for being upfront. So it seems there is no chance of us seeing each other romantically in the future? I feel like we have a connection but I’m assuming that it’s tainted to the point of no return, correct?

He said: I think using extremes like no chance or 100% is not productive. However, You just described it perfectly, and I am pretty torn and not sure how to interpret this situation. A situation that I've thought about a lot and still don't know what to make of it. That's just the truth.

She said: That’s fine. I won’t pressure you to articulate any more feelings right now. I always think of you and your family because y’all made me who I am. Sorry that I reach out and pester so often. I just am trying to grow and better myself and find myself reflecting on lessons y’all taught me to do so. So naturally I end up thinking of y’all. Have a good night.

Him: Those are very kind words and sentiments. That means a lot to me. Thank you. I share similar feelings for you and your family too. The more time passes, the more I appreciate things like that and the more thankful I am. It's amazing. You have a good night too. When I get on vacation, we could talk.

Her: if you don’t wanna talk and are just trying to be nice I understand. Sleep well.

Him: I would though! Thank you and it's go time at the school! Going to finish strong. I hope you keep killing it like you always do till then and that's an understatement too!
