My observation on this is that he is starting to notice your changes. He is noticing that you are not pressuring him to do things. this is good! The fact that he kept asking you what you were thinking tells me that is wondering what is going on with you and is very curious. Now he is trying to make YOU feel bad because poor little doggy is unwanted. Don't flow with it, keep doing what you are doing.
Backsliding happens when you still have so much you need to get out yourself. You've read my sitch and it was awful, lol. I personally think it's ok to backslide once in a while, people just cannot contain everything when it is still so raw.
You did ok. And you will do better next time because you learned from this. Keep it up Angela!
