How do I begin piecing??

Methinks he doth protest too much - he doesn't have anything to offer? How about himself? He is definitely dealing with his insecurities and low self-image. I think he is, consciously or unconsciously, seeking word of affirmation, reassurances, and ego boosting words/actions from you.

I think you should look at this time as if you guys were dating again. You don't have as many of the day to day drudgeries burdening your time together, so make the time you do spend together special and fun.

I hope he stays on his ADs and keep up with his C. Those are such promising steps.
