FM, I do respect and understand your concern regarding the sarcasm and poking.
CV, I want to parse your post #2312782. For example:
instead of "Yes, H will definitely tell you that he wants to improve the M", it can be simplified as "H states he wants to improve the M".
Here goes:
+ H states he wants to improve the M + H is going to counselling + I do not ask about his counselling + H sometimes offers information about counselling + H wants conversations limited to 15 minutes + H appears to have problems with long conversations + I understand and empathize + I like long conversations + I have not had conversations with H since + H appears to have changed + H compliments me + H wants to touch + H wants to do things together + H wants to have sex + I do not want touch + I do not want to do things together + I do not want sex + H stopped this new behaviour + I continue to not have conversations + we both win
