It may seem like progress. But how can there really be progress when the real issues within him have not been addressed by him? You are here, which means you are at least trying to work on yourself. Getting back to where you "were" is not progress because where you "were" is what got you here. Dont get me wrong, pleasant interaction is definitely better than angry confrontations. But do not mistake them for reconciliation. It took a long time for the two of you to get where you are today, and it will take some time to get to where you want to be.
Dont be discouraged, just be aware there is no quick fix. You are going to get great advice and support here. You have already heard from two who say they related to your H. Since these behaviors seem to follow a script, you can gain an enormous amount of insight from these guys as to what goes on in the mind of your H. Take it from sandi who almost every LBH yearns to hear from.
Keep posting, and keep your chin up. Focus on you.
