10pts!! i really need answers:-(( please ?

My ex bf has been stressed out with work because his parents dont work and his mother has a broken leg. He has been through a lot as he is preparing for college..he is coming to my college this fall. He is sensitive and little things get to him. We have been broken up for months. He asked to get back with me and later that night decided he didnt want a gf he is too stressed out in his life right now. I told him okay well goodbye have a nice life im movin on and will find someone who loves me and i told him to delete my number. Now ive found a guy whom i like and he likes me back. Now my ex texted me a week after i told him bye. Why would he text me? Is it that he does love me and right now is not a good time for him for a gf? I need some good advice. Thanks!
