There's always hope in any situation. Your h is staying connected w/you and your family at this time. Your situation is very similiar to rH's situation in the fact that your h is texting, etc.
Just be yourself and don't expect him to react or be the man that he once was. He's different now and he's learning how to grow up. Yes, you are having a lot of positives which can throw your expectations level through the roof, but you need to keep those expectations at zero or you'll get hurt disappointed or even angry if he doesn't do something that you thought he should do.
Continue as you have been. I wouldn't ask him about going out until later, if things continue as they have been. Leave the invitation open ended so that he can make his decision as to whether he wants to go or not. No pressure!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
