This is typical - and I believe what they refer to as "the valley".
Truth be told he is conflicted. As long as he gets what he needs from you he will continue to stay in the valley. Some advocate for sticking to your boundaries but giving them time to work there way through. Others state to stop letting them cake eat and solidifying that you are still a viable plan B as they continue to explore their new life with a safety net.
Which is right for you?
Everyone on this site will opt for the latter... while there are other sites out there telling you to be patient and that there still is hope. There are success stories out there for both methods. I'm starting to believe that those who recon were likely too anyway despite the method used... that's just a general observation and nothing to prove that.
What are your values? What is your gut telling you to do? Are you ready to file? ***never feel rushed into one decision or the other. You've got time to feel comfortable with your choices.
One thing I would do is greatly lower my expectations. He states he was so close to begging you back... do not believe that unless you see actual action on his part. He sounds very confused and is being pulled by puppet strings by OW.
