Well, you can talk here. I have found drama to be bad for me and so I have tried to eliminate it from my life. I have also found that people who are hurt (as he was) try to hurt back the person that hurt them. That's what I think his response is coming from. I think it might be helpful to just put your relationship completely aside for a moment and focus on something else in your life. I say that because otherwise you're playing some sort of emotional game with him. And if he cannot get past his resentments, then you have choices you can make.
