It is a little bit different for me because we have 3 young children, and we are busy with all sorts of children's activities in the evenings. Right now we are separated and he usually comes over in the evenings every other night, to visit the kids and help with them. On the days that I do not see him, we usually don't talk. And if we do, it is usually to the point, and usually regarding kids and schedules.
We tend to keep in touch using text messages and they are right to the point, very formal. If it were up to me I would like to joke around a bit or talk about things other than the kids, but when I do he doesn't usually react to it. He has been loosening up a bit though, lol. It's as if we are business associates, it is driving me crazy
That is one of my DB goals, to get him to start talking to me about things other than the kids. I have noticed a little bit of improvement and he seems to linger a bit longer talking to me before he heads out after our visits. Baby steps!
I agree with what job wrote on your thread, that he just needs time and space right now to think about things. It seems like things are headed in a positive direction for you so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Hope that helps!
