As you know, I've been following your posts from the beginning, and when he said what he said about your daughter, I jumped on the "never let him back" bandwagon. I still don't trust him, but I will give him credit for appearing to do SOME things right by her. At least he is still in contact, however sporadic, and even if you can't count on him to come back in 10 days like he said he would.
I think it's great that he misunderstood about the two guys, and suspect he's thinking "wtf????? She's supposed to be heartbroken! How can she possibly be hanging out with him?" Don't disabuse him of this notion. Even if it's in error, it's good for him to think you are not pining away for his return. I still don't think he deserves you, though.
Good on you for not making him feel guilty. I suspect he's rethinking things. But please please please if he's rethinking things, make sure he does the hard work first.
