"He said he was working on it, just wasn't there yet"
GIRLFRIEND! that is huge. he is telling you a) he wants to work on things and b) he needs space :0) you need to stop all R talks and let him bring it up. let a good thing be and let him come to you.
i promise you this looks good- but dont push him away or back to where you were...ok!
have a good rest!
