After S9 talked to him on phone I was filling him in on some things & he just cut me off in the middle of a sentence, so I quickly said, "Well, I guess you're done talking to me. S11 will call you later. Click")
Don't do that anymore either. Do you think after you hung up, he felt more positive towards you? He didn't. Plain and simple, nobody likes to be hung up on. YOU need to remove the conflict. He wants you to act negatively, because it supports his decision to leave. Don't give him that anymore, GTO. You want him to get off the phone wondering why he ever left you in the first place. Afterall, You are so nice, upbeat and positive. You really have it going on. Let him hear that instead.

Good, you realize your mistake (don't we all after the fact), so make a better effort to keep the conversation upbeat and light. Don't get too involved in conflict unless absolutely needed. Don't play into the conflict ....happy....nice....upbeat....cheery!
