Lilly, regarding his changing his status, here's the thing. When you set boundaries and enforce them you get rebellion. That's part of it. What do you do in response? Ignore the rebellion and stick to your boundaries. See this for what it is- he's doing the Internet equivalent of throwing a temper tantrum and pouting. DO NOT give him the attention he's craving. He WANTS a negative reaction out of you, so if you confront him you are playing right into his hands. A much better response is to not respond at all. THAT will make him feel like you REALLY ARE detaching, which is the whole point, right?

Drop all expectations and prepare for much, much more disappointment from him.
