Ex contacted me!!!!!

Breakup Help reconciliation
1

Me and my ex have been communicating mostly about bills and I recently contacted him about getting the rest of his things. Well now he is coming over Tuesday.
He text me this…
There is things I want to tell you but I’m not sure if I should, it’s just things that went through my head.
Then I said
Well how about this, you don’t have to talk about anything unless you want to. Sound fair?
Then he texts back
Yes it does. I just really want you to know that I never planned to hurt you and I am sorry…I would like to be able to give you an explanation just not sure I can. I know none of that changes anything, just wanted you to know.

I haven’t replied yet but he just text me again saying
I know it doesn’t help, just don’t want this to be a mean thing so I wanted to tell you.

Well I was excited at first that he wanted to talk, now I feel like he really has moved on…I’m so sad now.

Or he is just trying to clear his conscious so he can truly move on with his new girlfriend.

To me he is truly sorry for hurting you but could still have feelings for you, if he wanting nothing he would have just got his stuff and left.

Since the last text he sent me he has sent these:

Him- kinda thought you’d get mad at that.

Me-why would I get mad? I’m not mad anymore, never really was.

Him-well that kinda surprises me, I’m not sure what you are. We never talked about it. My plan wasn’t to tell you the way I did. I figured we talk/fight about it when I got home that night but you told me not to come back…so sorry I don’t know how you feel.

I didn’t reply and he text

Him- but I’ll stop bugging you

Tell him you appreciate that he is communicating with him, and that it isn’t bugging you.

With you*

He may have residual feelings but you cant be sure of anything at this point. He is at least opening the door for false friendship. That is up to you if you take it that route.

It’s a great sign that you two are having decent communication! Keep it up.

Thanks LAbound I text him that.
He replied…
“Ok I’ll keep that in mind”

So now that he said of those things…I wasn’t planing on talking about anything, so he might want to talk now. Is there things I shouldn’t say or shouldn’t do? Or should I just listen and not share anything? I don’t want to say the wrong thing
