Why is he asking me this?

Ok so he is love of my life and he said same about me, but I found out he got married to stay in the country in 2002 but still is. He talked marriage and future with me. Then when I confronted him about the marriage he pulled back. Said lets takes step back. I was shocked it should of been me saying that I was accepting his situation. After 3 weeks of off on fighting I get a text after I told him it's completely done. He text me at 5:39 am saying I think we can be really good friends what do you think? I haven't responded yet
