If you’ve lurked on this site much you may have heard people speak of a book called The Five Languages of Love. It is an excellent read and may help both of you in understanding what each of you considers important in saying you love each other. My wife and I have different languages. Hers is words of affirmation. Not that I love her but that I think she is important and needed. Mine is physical touch and personal intimacy. Holding hands, hugs….. Our marriage at this point is very much a roommate situation and she is trying to reconnect with me but for the most part we are happier in the marriage than we’ve been in years. We too run the house hold efficiently and don’t argue. We have greatly improved our communication which will be key for the two of you. Try reading the book while he is away and see if you gain some insights. Ask him to read it also. It might be a great way to start the conversations. Good luck
