Dear Kylee:

Regarding the empty condom box, you wrote: “what if it was from us in the past but then its like there is no way that would just be sitting there empty from a month or two ago”-

– depends on the context, the bigger picture: is his apartment is orderly, particularly if his bathroom is orderly, no empty toothpaste tubes lying around, no dirty laundry on the floor, everything is at its place, and there is that empty box of condoms- then it is not reasonable to think that he managed to throw away everything that is not in use anymore, but he neglected to throw away just this item: an empty box of condoms, and he neglected to do  so for two whole months .

On the other hand, if there is  a whole lot of items from long ago laying around, than it is reasonable to think that the empty box of condoms is or can be rom two months before.

Let’s look at the issue of whether you and him are together: “he says we are together and need to build our relationship back up”- look at the bigger context, or the bigger picture, bigger than the words he tells you. If he tells you this and then does not contact you for weeks, well, in the bigger picture or reality, the two of you are not together.

Does this make sense to you?
