It is ok. Now you need to be totally dark. Like I said before, if he calls, or texts, keep it very short, and tell him that you need to go.
He contacted you right? So see, this is working, its catching his attention.
You need to be respectful of his feelings, like it sounds like you were already doing. If he says that he has a problem with something just say, I understand. That does not mean that you agree with him, it just means that you respect his feelings. Its called validating, and its really important.
Im really glad that you are feeling good!
I guess I gave the wrong finger to the wrong man...
