Be careful +++ He is pulling out the full package, don't fall for it, he is starting to realize that he cannot have his cake and eat it too and he is not happy about that, so the "charming" guy is coming out, how convenient...he knows you, he knows what to say since he did several times before and you BELIEVED him each time. Don't be a fool!
You are looking great because you are finally freeing yourself from his influence and you don't give a ... anymore. You are starting to regain confidence in you and that's fantastic.
You might set up a list of criteria and boundaries... and see if he can follow them for a few weeks/months without trying to negotiate some points and find ways around. Words are something, actions are something else. Aim high! Test him... if you want...You are in charge of your life.
Meanwhile no R talks and no intimacy, you need to find peace because trust me the anger waves are coming soon (again)...
Try to look at your situation from the outside, imagine if someone was telling you that story... what will you think of it?
