Oh damn, I know how much that hurts, to have the mat pulled out from under you like that. I'm so sorry.
Couple of observations that might help you though: you got into it pretty good with him and he ended up saying "Okay, you're right". That's as good a sign as him saying he misses you in my book. Not sure how he was before but giving up ground like that (unless it was just an appeasement to get you off his back) looks to me like he's being pretty honest in his attempt to figure some things out. Given that you know he's confused, some of the other statements shouldn't be too shocking. Confused people say all kinds of things that don't make sense. But, again, he sounds like he's honestly looking at things and not using the confusion as cover for bad behavior the way others seem to. you clarified your position without getting shot down and found that he might actually be trying to figure some things out. This is good news.
