Yes it certainly sounds as though there has been a change and I agree with AndrewP too..

It's good that he feels more of a sense of responsibility to the family and how things will unfold from here is unknown.

From what I read on the forum, it is always good to remain in your own groove for a significant period of time during peek outs/increased contact phases. Yes, you can offer a little more to him if that works for you - but own groove regardless - would be my suggestion.

And as Andrew says about the what and the why - spot on..

Take care xxx
