If my memory serves me well, I seem to recall you've been in this situation before where he was making moves and then turned around and ran again?
"I need him to move out of there, I need him to tell me he only wants me and he's sorry for everything he's done. I need him to be a man and have the strength to do whatever it takes. I need to believe him. "
Sweetie, the only way you are going to know that he is serious is if he does these things FIRST. Otherwise, he'd be just poking his head out of the tunnel a little, testing the waters, going on a fishing expedition...call it what you like but he ain't serious until he gets his act together.
For my 2 cents, he does this every so often to both test you out and to keep you hanging in there. He knows you are there and just wants to make sure. Until you tell him to take a hike, he's going to keep doing this to you.
By all means, hear him out but don't get roped in. Even you telling him what you want I'm sure he'll take a sure sign that he still has you on a hook.
