My friends with benefits said I love you after 2 years?

Anonymous
Just want some opinions, I’ve been in a 2 year friends with benefits relationship with my ex from 13 years ago. I told him I loved him 6 months into the relationship but he said that he cared a lot about me but he wasn’t in love with me. We stopped the relationship for about 3 weeks & started it back. Due to me being to emotional, we have stopped & started the relationship about 6 times within the 2 years. I told him that I felt like he loved me but he wouldn’t ever tell me & he kept saying that he cared about me a lot but it wasn’t love (We are both in relationships with someone else, I know it’s wrong to do that but it’s the truth) This last time, We stopped seeing each other about 3 weeks ago Bc we got into an argument & I really hurt his feelings. I apologized & he said he wouldn’t accept my apology. Now a week later, Yesterday was my birthday, he asked me out for lunch out of no where. We ate & talked & I hinted that I wanted to have sex but I wasn’t sure if he wanted to. He didn’t say anything, just looked at me & climbed into the back seat (bc we was in his truck). He was on his lunch break at work & we only had about 8 mins left before he had to go back. I gave him oral like I always do bc I like it. Then as we are getting in position he said, listen I do love you, it’s just hard bc we have different lives but I wanted you to know the truth & that is that I do love you. I have loved you for awhile now & was just afraid to say it bc I know that we can’t be together & I wanted you to know the truth. Some say guys just say that to get sex but I was already having sex with him anyways so that doesn’t make sense. This is the first time he has ever told me he loved me & he looked me dead in the eyes when he said it to my face. He waited 2 years to tell me knowing I’ve been in love with him this whole time. Do you think he meant it?
