Texting his ex….

So I will start by saying this, the guy I’m seeing currently has treated me amazingly since I met him 5 months ago. He does have a young child but told me he broke up with his ex as they were not compatible but they do get on well enough for their child and talk every day.
When I first heard this I thought he was being mature, and thought it was nice they still got on well.

There has now been two incidents of what I think is inappropriate texting that I’ve seen. First he text her at about 3 in the morning to let her know he had fallen asleep which is why he didn’t answer, I saw this message whilst he typed it. I never said anything but whilst their conversation wasn’t anything wrong it also wasn’t about their child.
Tonight he was sat in front of the sofa on the floor, I’m lying down on the sofa. I can see she has text him to say she misses him, he then replies back with heart emojis. I’m torn between he didn’t say he missed her too, and he shouldn’t of sent anything like that. He’s said in the past he doesn’t want them to fall out but I do feel like SOMETHING is not right

I think he'll only stop this shit years down the line, when they've been separate for a looong time and he's got his head etc around her no longer being "his". (He's not concerned about being hers, only the opposite).

You'll get him fully (or will you? Cause I wonder why their relationship broke down and also he's been up for stringing two women along for 5 months so far, and still would be if you hadn't seen his messages etc) as a kind of consolation prize/default when he can no longer be bothered to string her along and try to keep her single.
