I’m confused… Is he being healthier or is he still crazy?

TLDR: After a year and a half of a guy being controlling and abusive he decided it was too toxic for him. He portrays to be healthier now but I notice passive aggressive things like talking about my “OTHER boyfriends”. We started fucking again shortly after the breakup. Now he keeps mentioning how I should go for other people and how he wants me to get over him and keep him as just sex. But then any time I start to agree with what he says and try to let him go, he seems like he changes his mind. And when I told him I was flirting with someone for a few days he said “if I’m going to try to move on I should be done with him completely then”. I feel like he doesn’t really want me to move on, he just likes playing with my head and seeing me cling to him when he tries to leave.

Ive been messing with this guy for about a year and a half. He used to be controlling and verbally abusive but I feel like he’s settling down. Anyways, we tried to be together but he broke it off, said it was too toxic and he wanted me to move on. We’ve broken up a few times but he always comes back. We started having sex again shortly after and I feel like we’re at square one all over again. The other day, we were talking about my clothes and he said I get a lot of creepy dudes by wearing revealing clothes and how it asks for attention. I was pointing out how im mostly hit on at work, where I have no makeup and a uniform. He told me I should go for them and get a boyfriend since I “ask for more than he’s willing” and how we should stop talking at all because we’re toxic. I started to point out that we don’t even fight anymore but then realized to let him go and said “you know what youre right, bye”. He kept trying to talk and I said just go and he switched and was like “no just forget about it”. Then talked all night like normal, even told me that I was cute. Then today he starts up AGAIN about how “I have feelings” and said we should stop having sex over “my feelings”. I told him that I don’t even think about my feelings until he brings them up and how I moved on. I told him I even was trying to move on and was flirting with someone else for a couple days but wasn’t ready. THIS MAN says “if you’re going to talk to other dudes we shouldn’t fuck anymore. If you’re going to try to move on, we should be completely done”. Also the last time we had sex, he saw me on my phone and said I “was talking to my OTHER boyfriends” and when I left, he said I must be going to hangout with another guy.

I’m starting to feel like he doesn’t really want me to move on. I feel like he just breaks it off to get a rise out of me and to hear me express feelings for him. I also def think that the “healthy” thing is just a scapegoat and he’s more passive about being abusive/controlling
