What does it really mean when a guy still wants to be friends with his ex?

Just asking this because I never heard a man talk about this and would like to get you all's perspectives.

My now ex had this favorite ex girlfriend of his that just always somehow remained in the picture. I say favorite because every argument we've had, she knew about it, every personal thing we talked about, he told her about it, she knew my past, and probably every other personal detail about me because of him and it was only her. She was in the middle of everything.

Of course he would gaslight me constantly and try to write her off as "just a friend". She as well would reach out to me and try to make it seem as though she's so nice and so supportive of me and wanted to be my friend as well but I always called bs because women of course are very catty and petty especially exes.

She too would claim that they were only friends but again I wasn't going for it because there's just no reason for anyone, man or woman, needing to be friends with their exes while in a relationship with someone new.

What do you guys think?
