I agree, at least he was thinking of you by getting personal things for you (how thoughtful!) which is akin to missing you ?? I would be thrilled if bf did that for me, today.. he got my radio installed in my car! I was touched, but, choosing natural body products is more... personal. Anyway, glad there is small signs all the time that you are getting there, getting somewhere at least ??

As for him not talking in bed..do you think he is building his confidence back up again, to be uninhibited and guilt free enough to express himself, like he used to? This is a man afterall who took, what, 5, 6 months of proper reconciliation before he even attempted to ML to you (was it longer ??).. he's like a new born foal, he's found his legs now, but he hasnt attempted to run yet crazy

BE PATIENT !!! (hahahah, ducks...)
