lamartine,

Please do not accept his phone calls any more -- if he honestly and whole heartedly wants to get back together w/ you and work on an altruistic relationship, let him do the work through his actions, not his words. Thus, you can have the time to heal and move forward towards a happier relationship with someone else if he does not take appropriate actions. He simply does not wany anyone else to have you, don't be his bandaid. Move forward.
