You can forward messages:

Note that if you try to forward them to the email address that you use for your Apple ID, they will just show up in Messages, not in your email.


Or, do you mean you want to share messages with your ex?

It is set to forwarding But it does not forward at all.
I would like to forward to any email

What you're talking about is not forwarding a message to your email. What it does is enable you to send and receive SMS messages from other devices that share an Apple ID with your phone. It doesn't forward SMS messages or iMessages to your email.

Yes, it's possible to forward individual messages to an email address. I provided a link on how to do it.


No, it's not possible to automatically forward all messages to an email address. Apple never said that they offered that feature.


If you explain in more detail exactly what you're trying to accomplish, we could stop guessing at what you mean and perhaps give you a better answer.
