Can anyone give advice on his recent behaviour when he comes home i.e needing to make physical contact with me by touching hands, sitting beside me watching television and his need to chat to me when the children aren't present. The other day he was looking at the new slimmer me quite intently. Also inviting my parents out for a meal to celebrate his birthday.

I have no expectations but wondered where this fitted into the scheme of things, especially as he wouldn't come near me for months before he left and his attitude to me then was cold and detached.
