You need to stop pushing the process to go faster than it goes. This is a HUGE temptation for LBSs that end up Ring and piecing. "He/she is making progress, but we aren't being intimate, or we aren't open mouth kissing, etc."
If you read my last couple of threads you will see that it took my W 2 years to start passionately, open mouth (with tongue) kissing me again! I would get worried that meant something (lots of theories out there about spouses, espeically wives, not kissing like that). She started doing that again in the last few months. But if I had started pushing for it verbally it probably would have been a disaster.
So slow down, let things play out. I see you mention fear that it will all stop again. You have no control over that. You have no control over the pace at which he lets go and fully puts himself out there and embraces Ring and piecing in full. You no control over when and how he does that. What you do control is how you react to all of it.
Pommy, you've got this!
