he said "possibly when you & your rich new boyfriend (projecting)"
He baited for a reaction. Either ignore his jab or look dead serious and say, "Let's keep this strictly on a business level". If he makes another inappropriate remark, you turn and leave, or show him the door. Do not reply, clarify or try to explain any statements of that caliber.
I would be leery of him wanting a personal agreement. I see it as another stall. Isn't that what you've had all these years? You trusted his personal agreement in the past, and look how that turned out. Be careful, Magic.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
