Is it possible that he might be afraid of disappointing you? That it isn't that he isn't willing, he just doesn't want your expectations to be so high? My therapist has done this to me, when I want him to promise something will be OK and he says things like "I hope" instead of "I'm sure."
I think you need to begin with baby steps and perhaps wonder if this isn't an bit of resistance to tackling something really hard. Are you both colluding not to tackle this? Just a thought, I know it isn't easy.
