A man can be "over his ex" but still be dealing with the fallout of a divorce.

He might not have any interest in thinking about future plans at the moment.. He's too busy putting one foot in front of the other for now.

This, probably. But OP, there's nothing wrong with saying, in response to his comment, "Ok, but what does that mean for us? Do you see a future here?" That's not confrontational, it's just asking for clarification.

ok this is my only question

do you think that him saying to me...

"im not really sure now. my prior plans to spend my life with someone special fell apart"

means that he is not over his ex?

Hard to say. It could just mean that he's not over the divorce itself, given that he's still slogging through it and tying up the loose ends.

Has he ever said anything about what caused the divorce? That could be a good gauge to go by in answering the question. Has he talked about her much? In any case, he seems to be into you, maybe that's what really counts....?

Well, so, maybe he is over her, but not over the fact of how dreams can be shattered. Having one's life fall apart in that way can be rough, and as you can see, the aftermath can drag on for quite awhile.

It sounds more like he isn't yet in a frame of mind to make long term plans yet. I wouldn't say that it means he's not over her, but more specifically, not over the end of what was once a marriage. It could be some time before he's ready to be that vulnerable again.

This. It takes time to recover from that, and recovery can't commence until the actual divorce process is complete. In his case, it's not over yet.
