Yes, I think we wean ourselves away and that's OK. Our Ss weaned themselves away, we just didn't realize it was happening.
Be friendly, be open, forget that you know him better than anyone else because that actually handicaps you. Look at everything with fresh eyes, without expectations.
My H said he wanted to be friends. My definition of friend is someone who: I trust, will answer my call be it 3am or 3pm, I can confide in, laugh with, cry with, hang-out.

You now have the chance to be who you want to be without having to worry about another person's likes, preferences, biases.
Really think about who that is.
