Does this indicate he cared or it was difficult for him to get over me?

[Anonymous]

He sent me a text saying , “ hey just so you know , I was looking for a serious relationship with you for close to 10 years, but I’m writing to inform you that I’ve found someone special and I’m moving on from any thoughts of us being something special. Why would he text me this out of the blue if I didn’t even contact him lol? Please explain is he thinking about me or something? I must have been difficult for him to get over?

He wanted something with you, but it seemed you didn't give him a chance

It was difficult to get over you but he did it because he found someone better than you. He basically wanted to show off and make you feel down

He was getting closure for himself.
