After about 10 minutes he stood behind me without touching me just to be there, and then a few minutes later he moved away completely and I just relied on my elbows.

Whee!
Way to go!

Keep up the good work.

BTW, your next ride on the road, you will likely feel MUCH smoother and stable on your bike. It's one of many good things that comes from riding rollers.

A couple of sessions and you can just ride them anywhere, although I still like to ride them alongside a wall for stopping/starting.
