"My friend suggested a general statement: "things seem a bit less stressful, its nice" "

A statement like this is fine. The problem is what YOU WANTED to say. "Wondering if I should comment why he is being so nice/responsive/easy."

You keep trying to ask 'why'. He probably doesn't even know, so just give him space.
