I cannot imagine what this means. I’ll try to clarify.


Your Apple ID, which very likely is your email address, may be used to receive iMessages if you included it at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.


Your boyfriend could then use his Apple device’s Messages app to send you iMessages, addressed to your Apple ID.
