I also don't think you're over-reacting. He's clearly out of bounds. If you don't want to go the way of telling him off, maybe you can just say you have recently become over-whelmed with life issues and just can not work on his project, and that you're very sorry. If he presses for what that is, just say anything, someone in the family passed away, your best friend is in a messy divorce, your little sister is being harrassed at work by an ex, you were witness to a major accident...whatever. He isn't entitiled to truth or anything else for that matter.
Is there anyone at all who can back you up? A co-worker? A preferrably large friend who will tell him for you? I find the lack of support from your family pretty unsettling.
