I think you've hit a couple of important points.
There are definitely things I still need to explore, or work on, and I probably need to talk to him about the feeling that he's just acknowledging them rather than helping me work on them. I am having a great deal of troubles at work and they are based on feelings that are getting in my way. And I need him to help me access them rather than talk to me about practical things.
And you're right about talking about TV and movies too. I use Babble a lot in that way, but TV and movies could be useful too. I've always thought I could write a book about what "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" evokes in me.
I feel like a wife who is looking for help from her husband to bring life back to the marriage, and meeting with the resistance of a man who's perfectly happy with things as they are and who overtly and covertly works to keep the status quo.
Maybe he's relishing the quiet after the storm and wants to bask in calmness and good feelings for at least a while.
