SH pretty much said it all and far more elegantly than I could have. You are coming out of crisis mode so your emotions are sure to be raw (well of course they are, think about what you've been through). Don't rush it because really, neither one of you are quite there yet. He's enjoying some freedom now-living on his own without the daily grind of sharing physical space with someone. It may very well have been the main thing he needed. Also, don't be so quick to fall into a daily routine. This is your (both of you) time to add some romance. Plan a real picnic for just the two of you or do something together you've never done before. If you guys are doing the same thing you did before the break then you're more likely to fall back into old patterns. I don't think I expressed myself very clearly. I hope you got the gist.
