I recognize the dance steps I suggest that you step back and realize that this is something that he did and for a little while, he'll feel relieved. But since you're not really the issue, it'll come up again. The weirdness, the craziness, the anger, the spew. He's fighting something internally, and he doesn't know how. You may have been the release valve for this time around. Be careful of that and be careful to not let him suck you into it. It'll be a possibility that he'll channel his anger at you and you'll become the vessel that holds the muck, so to speak. You don't want to be associated with the anger. My suggestion is to go back to zero and not even see this as progress. This is him venting and staying connected, but he's obviously afraid and still "cooking". Hence the sex ban and keeping you at arms reach.
He's not done, but he's fighting to move in *some* direction. Go back to the way you were and stay at a distance. It's just a question of time before the anger needs a place to vent again...
If you ask me, part of his issue really is in growing up and standing up to his parents. He doesn't know what that means yet. That's a common theme by the way. I've seen it many times and first hand in my own situation (still - ugh). Keep your distance firmly but kindly...
