Why did he message me and what is going on in his head?

my now ex boyfriend broke up with me over text:

Thursday

him: "You need to let me go my dear, I can't be in this relationship."

"Don't call me, don't keep begging, just have some respect for yourself and for me."

"you are a grown women, beautiful and smart, you can move on and have a hapy life, you do not need me in it."

me: "I don't want to beg I just want to talk"

"do you speak with God" (we are religious)

him: "leave me alone, you need to move on"

me: " this has got nothing to do with us. I'm just generally asking you a question about God"

him: "i'm not engaging in that converstaion"

he eventually picked up my call, didn't say a word and just listened to me speak for just under an hour, apologising, saying thanking you and talking about God.

I sent a reel with the quote: love is patient love is kind etc...

The following day Friday

him: sends a 1950's reel of women, couples and kids with the song lyrics "my love, my darling, I hunger hunger for your love"

Saturday

liked my reel

him: "you sounded so sweet and graceful on the phone the other night"

What is going on in his head?

He has done things like this perviously where he wanted me to attend his graduation, then he didn't and then he did again in the span of 4 days.
