Stumped... I guess I'd say be happy he's with you for now and focus on that!!
As for the being left alone thing, that is a guy thing. Not sure why we do that, but there are times where we would honestly prefer to be left alone.
I'd take him at face value.. if he said he didn't want to bother you, that's probably true.
If you want him to interact, ask him what he thinks.. ask for suggestions. Again, being simple minded species, he may not think you are asking for his input. I know I sometimes struggle with wanting to "fix" things when my W talks, but I also know sometimes she just wants me to listen and be sympathetic. Maybe you are getting more of the latter?
Just some thoughts.. The big thing I would recommend would be to talk to him and let him know how you feel. You may be surprised at what he's thinking/feeling.
Guys.. am I way off here?
Nut.. thanks!! I think we are in the same boat as far as converting the D. We do have 50/50 custody. She didn't want that at first, but it's what the court would've ordered anyway.
