He does this as his way of showing you that you are still important to him. He wants to keep all the ties he has to you. He is keen to stay on the good side of the people you love and care about. He may even ask for their advice and help.

Think of it as winning the hearts of your loved ones to win your heart in the end!

Watch out for high-quality communication, such as signs that he is attempting to get to know you all over again. If your ex-husband texts you at 2 in the morning and asks about you, then, it might mean that he wants to have you back.

He is Interested in Your Wellbeing

The contents of conversations you have with your ex-husband can speak so much about what he feels. Calling you means one thing but the things he says during those calls are a different story.
