Two WAS's- is it really meant to be or walk away?

[Loving_Life]

Well, now my sitch is kind of up and down... Unfortunately, my stbx is a moody man (possible bi-polar). He's definitely reacting to my DB and my changes. Tonight he got angry at me (which was often typical in our M) and is trying to draw me back into the negative pattern of our old R where he'd criticize me and I'd react. Instead I stayed calm and friendly during the entire call.

He has called me 5 times in the last week and a half- which is huge. I've talked to him 2 out of those 5 times, which I know is encouraging him to call more. Most recently he wants to talk about bills, but it's not anything that we need to talk about that long for so I know he's making excuses to call me. Tonight he got mad at me b/c I said I couldn't talk long and that he should email me his bill proposal. Then he said he wants to call me again on Wed (he's putting it in his calendar), when can he call me so that I can talk longer- so I gave him a time. I'm going to keep up the DB. So far, he's not admitting that he wants a relationship, but he's sure calling a lot and wanting to talk a lot!
