"Bond.. he is this way ONLY to me, anyone else he is "acting pleasant" too. If a friend, or our daughter enters his "space" he puts on a smile & says "hello"."
He acts this way to you because you are the closest one to him. AGAIN.. this isn't about YOU, it's about HIM.
Exactly my thoughts. He puts on his "game face" for everyone else. With you, he's relaxed (no matter if you think so or not) and knows he doesn't have to pretty himself up for you and more than that, he (subconsciously) likely thinks that you'll love him anyhow.
Yes, it's tedious and tiresome, but right now you are still the safe person for him. That is actually a good thing.
Please try to wait at least until the weekend. You can chit chat with him on a personal level if you decide to go to Saturday Shopping... IF he brings up idle chit chat...
