just a quick question, so did he get over his ex or not???

Yes??? If you categorized them from "Do you need me because you love me or do you love me only because you need me??" They fall on the "do you love me only because you need me?" category. He realized that the love they felt for each other isn't even that much but it was more on the sense of they think they're alike, thus they felt the other understand them that's why they relied on each other too much that it's unhealthy.
