Phrase of the day

Ok, what does it mean when someone calls someone an "ex-_______-to-be"? (_______=wife, boyfriend, etc.)

Does this mean that I know something that the ex-boyfriend-to-be doesn't yet know? (Because you either are or aren't dating someone, right? So conversely, one either is or isn't an ex-boyfriend, right?)

Is this a roundabout way of saying, "I'm about to break up with ______" and am being not-so-oblique about it to make it seem like I don't want to talk about it, but really I do (want to talk about it), so please call me."

Hmmmm.
