It is as if he has this big speech planned but chickens out.
What is so important that he cannot just discuss with you on the phone or in an email?
Seems like he has been saying for weeks that he wants to talk.
Maybe instead of setting aside time for him say that you have plans or are busy. Let him be the one waiting and waiting instead of you.
I think I would try hard to be still, no contact unless necessary like money issues, picking up your daughter that sort of thing.
I am wondering if one day he thinks one way, next day something else and he just cannot face you right now.
My h went thru this period for a few months where he would feel one way then another and it went back and forth for awhile. I just left him alone.
Very frustrating........
