How do you know someone still loves his/her ex?

I feel like my entire relationship is a lie.
It hurts a lot.
My BF still contacts his ex knowing it hurts me.

The fact that they're still in contact. If he did not care about her, she'd be another number he'd delete or just doesn't interact with. I got numbers in my phone I haven't called or texted in nearly a decade

Obviously he has some ideation of incentive to text her. He needs to completely let her go if things were not healthy or if they were problematic
