Why did my ex boyfriend call me crying?

Anonymous
He broke up with me about 2 in a half months ago. I was so hurt and he was a total d*ck about the whole thing. He told me to never call or speak to him again, yet he continued to call me the entire time. There were even times were he called me to tell me that I had better not be dating other guys or he called me to tell me how much he spent on his current gf.

Any who he called me this morning at 12am crying like a complete baby. He could barely get his words out. He told me how he was very sorry for how he treated me. Now most of his call consisted of him talking about how the new girlfriend dumped him and how he wants her back and is so upset.

He talked about how he had not ate in 3 day or even slept because he was so upset. I am just very confused as to why he'd call his Ex of all people. Especially after treating me so badly during the initial break up. He says that he is so in love with this girl but they've only been together for about 3 months and during that entire time he has called me. He also apologized for being a total D*ck etc. I mean he went from the very beginning to the end about our relationship and why he broke up with me etc.

What's going on here? Am I reading into this too much? I just think it's odd that he'd contact ME?

Get this... He just called me 5 min. ago telling me that he is going to the girl's house who dumped. He said that even if he found another man that he'd still take her back. Why in the h*ll does he feel the need to give this info. to me?
