He wants me to quit my job

*I’m trying to make it make sense in my brain because I think if it makes sense, it’ll be easier to leave*

We work together. He broke up with me last month and I realized how controlling and verbally/emotionally abusive he was and started to lose feelings and got into therapy. He started talking to me again and now he says he finds me attractive, thinks I’m hot, likes me, etc. But then says he thinks us trying to work on things while working together is a bad idea because of how toxic our workplace in general is. He says he wants something healthy and work will ruin that, just like all his past ones. Part of me feels like he’s genuine, because it is a toxic place and I started to feel the same way. But another part of me thinks it’s out of toxicity. I’m thinking either because 1) he wants to limit my exposure to friends who try to talk me into leaving him or 2) To end it for good and not have to worry about seeing me or me finding out about things. I’m leaning more towards 1 because he already told me he doesn’t want me to tell my work friends that we started talking again. He’s also tried to talk me out of all my friendships and has expressed jealousy of them. Even some family. And my friends would tell me about him regardless and I think he knows that. But also then I get confused because he says things that do make sense and sound healthy. He doesn’t act controlling anymore just tells me he doesn’t want me to date or sleep with anyone else so that it’s not messy. Sometimes he even encourages me not to quit. So maybe he’s just really manipulative idk
