Yes, it does sound like he's begging for you to ask him what's going on.

Maybe you can just reply with a "that's good" or "glad you're doing well".

That way you acknowledge his message, but don't appear overly eager.

My h would do that by text every once in a while. Eventually, when he realized that I wasn't going to come out and ask him, he'd just come out with what he wanted me to know.
