Sara, be very careful, every time he feels he is in a hot spot, he changes for a few days then revert to his old behavior. That's just plain manipulation.
Changes take time, weeks, months or even years.
Set up boundaries and enforce them. If he is really serious he will accept the boundaries and understand your point of view. Don't bend!
