H and I used to make each other laugh, but H would try to embarrass me more. I used to complain about it and it stopped and now I regret it. Did you ever make comments to him about his behavior? It is possible that all the stresses the two of you have been through have dampened his ability to be the clown.
Have you heard from him since he's been in Europe?
Just remind yourself you are starting over, new R/M, don't take anything for granted. He is still trying to get over his hurt and insecurities.
