Other half grew up and now he's grown down again

We had a massive fall out with the other halfs family. We haven't spoken to them in months and in that time the other halfs changed for the better, he became independent and started having more fun. He used to be very reliant on his family, would never make a decision without their input. I didn't realise how bad and submissive he is with them until we recently got back in touch with them. All of a sudden hes cancelled our usual weekend plan of drinks with friends because he wants to go and see his mum and dad the following evening. We don't have hangovers from it so whats the issue? Why is he suddenly growing down again? Like going for drinks with friends doesn't suit who his family are? They aren't coming with us! I just dont want to go back to him being a kid again i guess

Very odd. That doesn't really make sense.

Perhaps he actually missed his family, even if he didn't tell you how much. It's much harder for him than it is for you, to give up a relationship with his family..

Talk to him, see why he is changing back. Tell him the difference in his behaviour from when his family is not involved to when they are involved. Maybe family ie you and him counseling to figure it out.

I wouldn’t want to be with someone who changes so drastically around family we cut out for a reason.
