Oh, he's a smartie all right. But he didn't marry no dunce either.

He thinks you are being manipulative rather than differentiated.
Mo, this is exactly what he believes. I am willing to give him some time and space to realize that he is wrong.
I want him to meet me halfway. I am not expecting him to change his very nature. But I will not put up with him withholding, because we are then back to the power struggle. What he is trying to do right now is wrest control back from me (for he thinks I am in control) by telling me that he is doing the minimum we agreed on and if I ask for anything more, he will cry foul.
Btw, I have made it very clear that we will never go back to the old days, so he can forget his comfort zone. I think this is slowly starting to sink in.
He is supposed to get back to me with some thoughts, so we'll see how it goes. No confrontations right now.
