If a married man decides to tell the girl he’s been flirting with and having an emotional

Affair mainly via text to identify the relationship as friends after a big fight with her - does it mean it’s over and he’s no longer going to engage with her in that sense?

He messaged her once again and they seemed to have a normal conversation that friends would....then he didn’t contact her the next day. So I don’t know if he’s actually done with this situation or will be a friend....?
