Sounds like he's 'back-pocketing' you, just in case this new girl doesn't work out. Read through your linked posts. Sounds emotional, and tumultuous indeed!
I had a man, interested in back-pocketing me, back last spring 2012. Ugh! I'm not the type of woman, to play second fiddle to anyone! I give what I need back!
No one, is worth emotional turmoil. You deserve more than that, and when you get it, you'll appreciate having someone that complements your persona. Better than someone that leaves you feeling such angst and heartache.
