Maybe keep focusing in on whether you can fully accept him. My guess (guess is the key word) is that might either release you to a new R, or give you the key to his heart. It doesn't mean anything will change quickly.
Should you decide that you do love him unconditionally, remember that as you've probably noticed before, he doesn't know what you don't directly tell him. Assumptions don't replace good and clear communication. And text messages don't replace a hug.
He walked to you in the storm. Maybe he is wondering if you can walk to him in his emotional storm. Maybe.
