My take on why he is both loving and abusive: He is loving in a manipulative way, he hopes to get you back. But even so he can't hold back his narcissism--he can't tolerate anything that questions/challenges his ego--and so he is compelled to defend and attack when that ego feels threatened.
He's coming over tomorrow eve to pick up more of his things. I may decide to not be here.

And yes, it's the cycle of abuse - he love bombs and is all nicey nice with an agenda in mind, then he explodes and abuses me. It continues.....
