How should I handle MLC direct lying?

[amg2]

So lately H seems to want me to ask him to do things. Like he's first realizing that I don't initiate much contact w him at all. We have a history of me (genuinely) not providing a lot of ego boosting for him (i.e. initiating sexual contact, complimenting him).

But I still just sit back right? He's not really DOING much different. No counseling. No initiation of R conversation. But I feel something different and there is a tension of him WANTING me to initiate. It's a bit stressful. And weird b/c I know in the past I should've done more complimenting but now don't want to do too much. And he also keeps wanting me to need him to do things at the house (where he isn't living) and seems to make him feel good if he's needed.

I'm not looking at H's phone recs, email, anything so don't know if he's contacting anyone else now or not. As of about a month ago it looked like according to phone recs he was emailing w someone excessively. I've asked no questions.

Advice or thoughts appreciated. Thanks.
