Actions speak louder than words. He has to show you loud enough for you to listen. You are confused because you wanted this from him for some time and you want to know why now. The reason Why now is because you said no more, enough and meant it.
He is afraid(finally) that he might actually lose you. Make him walk that mile in your shoes and don't for one instant feel sorry for that. He sent you on a round trip to Hades, that is the least he could do.
