You wrote “He said he wasn’t apologizing to patch things up or come around me and has moved to another city. He just wanted to acknowledge his poor behavior.” My question would be did he say he wanted to try again in your conversation? If not, it most likely means he just wanted to make amends for his behavior because he does care that he hurt you. The best way to find out what it means is simply to ask him and let him solve the mystery. That is the quickest route to the answers you seek. Best of luck!
