Look at his pattern...getting OW1 to drive to see him...all he does is stroke her ego...OW2 getting the lies of being separated...he is like a puppet master and admits to "getting off" on the adrenaline rush.
He wants you to pursue him, so that he can lie to and manipulate you. The NC is the best thing, like allen said he cant play a game if you're not playing...that will likely intrigue him. Most importantly you should take that time for yourself to become stronger and detach.
His games will get old b/c they will hurt people...you are better than that and no one here wants to see you get hurt. But you must stick to it...
