Quote: I don't know how to interpret all of this. Is it a good thing because he does want to be with me sometimes? Or is it a bad thing because he stills wants to be with her? And why does he think he's telling me too much?
Yes! It is a good thing because he wants to be with you! And, yah, while he's still sometimes wanting to be with ow, it sounds like that's lessening which is another good thing! Kind of like if the ratio of time he wanted to be with you over the time he wanted to be with ow started out as 0/100 and then creeps closer to 50/50 then closer to 100/0! That's great.
As for his comment about telling you too much...ah, well, sounds like he felt exposed, like he was sharing too much of his emotions and confusion.
Quote: At one point in time I felt positive about this information but since he told me this, he was withdrawn from me again. Is this just something to be expected and I just need to ride it out? Or is he re-thinking everything again and swaying back to the OW?
It's completely expected that after a disclosure he'd retreat a bit. Good for you for not overreacting to that.
He gave you the best clue of all "keep doing what you're doing".
