Question about Blurry Lines in Break Up Situations

Hey everyone

I F(35) did post here before but am in a weird situation now. I have had an odd situation arise where my ex M (30) is still acting like everything is normal after a full on conversation which was us agreeing the relationship wouldn't work. This was because he did want kids, I didn't and some other issues but that was one of the big ones. I was very certain of my decision when we had this conversation. He said he would pick up his stuff the following week from my place.

We did text the week (prior to him coming over to pick up his stuff) after but then it became more of a coupley conversation. I told him to pick up all of his clothing from my place which he did and nothing happened just conversation. I did say we need to go no contact now for 30 days which is what we are doing. He said a few times reach out if you need to when we were having our last conversation before no contact. I've mentioned I'll call after the 30 days. I'm not sure if he is in denial. He did say this no contact was your contact and if we were broken up then we wouldn't be doing no contact (not really the case in all break up situations). How I see it is he doesn't think it is a break up more just space and still together.

The situation now seems blurred and it's almost like there may be a "second" break up on the phone. Anyone been in this blurry zone?
