Am I being used as a rebound? 

He is a 25/m and I’m a 25/f. My ex recently asked me to go out to eat with him. We have been broken up for almost two years. We dated for six years prior to that. We have shared a lot of our growing up together. We haven’t spoken in over a year. He recently told me that he is generally really happy with his life except for his relationship with his gf as he doesn’t think they’re compatible. Yet he has always told me he didn’t think they’d work but he would give it a shot and ultimately he saw us being together but we had to mature. 

So we basically talked for six hours until five am the other night about life, our goals, how we have matured, and what our ever changing perspectives of life are. 

So he told me that he has been thinking about past good times a lot because he tends to do that when he is sad. I inquired further and he said he was thinking about what positive things have lead him to where he is now and how I influenced him a lot. He said that he is sad because of his girlfriend situation and how they’re so different and that he thought they could grow together over time but it isn’t happening. He told me he had the crazy obsessive butterfly feeling with me that he didn’t have with her and that he and I were so similar and attached at the hip for like five years. I reminded him we met as teenagers and hormones probably Played a role in that and also we have jobs and lives now. 

I also said people are so different and I’ve always wondered if we got along so well because we knew each other for so long and were so similar and saw the world the same or if that kind of grew over time. I said I wondered this with other people who I dated who were up to par but I wasn’t crazy about them. He agreed. We also discussed what we enjoyed about each other and took for granted when we were dating and I shared how I matured as a person and individual and focused on not being dependent in any way on another person (being alone and single caused me so much anxiety before). He didn’t say much in how he matured except for he appreciated people’s emotions now whereas they annoyed him before. He still focused on how much he tries to learn about technology. 

We couldn’t stop talking for hours and he gave me a very extended hug after our talk and we left and haven’t spoken since. It’s been a week. He said it was amazing to talk to me and that he may want to catch up again in the future. 

He is still with him girlfriend and has never said anything well about her ever. 

I am worried I am a rebound for him as he is having these discussions with me while still having a gf. He hasn’t been single since we broke up and am wondering if he just is afraid of being alone. 

**TLDR: ex and I talked. He said stuff like he didn’t appreciate me when we were together and his perspectives have changed. He is still dating his gf who he has never spoken positively about. I am wondering if I am just being used as a rebound**
