I get it. I really do.

As a very wise person said to me once, if you don't figure out what this seperation is about (from his perspective) it will never end.

He has said he wants to work on it. I would suggest being a little more non-reactive. I know it was a shock. Should he have sent the e-mail to his L sooner? Sure, you're right. Feel better? I am not trying to be harsh. We all get caught up in the minutia of life sometimes. He did. Breathe.

Communication is hard at best esp in a way that won't make him feel like you're "setting him up" and that you're pressuring him. Alot of men tend to be less verbal. Remember, that 7% (approx) of a convo is verbal.

Is he the only one that needs to learn different communication skills or can you learn his style too?
