The stages are: reducing negative emotions; friendship; romance; recommitment.
You guys are waffling between friendship and romance. I don't really see you in reducing negative emotions at all, but more that you are having to work through and deal with some past issues in this new R you have carved out.
Keep your eye on the goal. Keep focusing on what works. Keep taking care of yourself.
You have come so far. Remember, ignore all of what they say and half of what they do. Actions mean more than words, and words can be spoken out of fear, insecurity, and anger.
