My [F20] Ex [M22] has got back in contact, not sure if he has ulterior motives.

[staringspace]

We split up after a long relationship (4 years) and he hurt me an awful lot. A month later, he was already in a new relationship so I cut off all contact with him as I couldn't obviously put up with that. After 5 months of no contact, he gets in contact with me around my birthday and I decided to have a catch up with him to see how things are going - which went smoothly enough.

 

Ever since then, he's been skyping me (IM) everyday at work and we've gotten on well. He would be the first to greet me in the morning, and we're often talking for hours on end. He'd say personal things to me occasionally, e.g "I should have put more thought into your presents" "I've still got all your letters" and "I've missed talking to you". I'd even provoke him with some semi suggestive comments "Just getting changed, I don't look presentable in my PJs" to which he'd reply "Who says you don't look presentable in your PJs?" and so forth.

 

I can't work out if he's just being friendly, overly friendly or there actually is some ulterior motive here. His mates (who I am friends with) did say to me separately that he was trying to make amends, but there's making amends and crossing the line, right? I don't even know if his girlfriend knows that he's talking to me again.

 

I'm not sure how to take this or what to make of it. Any outside opinions would be appreciated.

 

tl;dr - Ex-boyfriend got in contact with me after a no-contact break of 6 months, and he's been talking to me non-stop, sometimes about rather personal things (even though he has a new-ish girlfriend). Is he just being friendly or is there more to it?
