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
