Need males' pov

I met this friend when I was 13-14F and be was 16-17M online. Eventually we got close and became good online friends. It was my first time ever having a really deep online friend and somehow I got attached since we texted almost everyday. I even got introduced to his group of online friends and we all became very good friends. It was during the Covid lockdown so yk how we had so much free time and would chat all day. He once send me a selfie but that was the only time. We never revealed our faces or anything. I wasnt comfortable and maybe he wasnt either. Also he did have a girl, let's call her C (they were not dating) and we kept our friendship platonic and never really did anything inappropriate. It was purely platonic. I felt like he understood me in a way no one irl did. Everytime something bad happened I would text him and vent cause he did the same too. He would tell me all the stuff he was going through and I was virtually listening to him. Even without knowing each other irl, it felt like we were so close. We had our fair share of arguments and fights and ignoring each other and becoming friends again. That was all when I was immature ig.

Then as the years passed, we would sometimes lose touch for a few months (mainly bc I had to be focused on other stuff going on in my life) and then go back to texting each other 24×7 again. Then sometimes I wonder 'is it normal for friends to text every day ?' I might be overthinking. It feels so comfortable to tell him almost anything and he also tells me almost everything. Keep in mind he has C who is very special to him. One time he said he shared more with me than he did w C and it felt a little off, I mean aren't you supposed to share the most w your partner? We spent too much time, he would ask me how my day was almost everyday, and share all the issues he had going on in his life, like the really top secret ones that he could not share with anyone. Honestly I don't know what really is going on with him and C. My question is Men, is this normal? I have so many details and havent shared here, so feel free to ask me anything regarding this. Now I'm 20F and we are still friends super duper close.
