This is the problem. When I ask him, everything is ok. So what should I do? Worry and think "here we go again". Or what. I really want to hear from you.
its the same as saying lack of affect, means he can not feel and show his emotions.

take death. when someone does not have lack of affect they show their sadness for losing that person, they are able to grieve for the loss of that person, they are able to feel angry with the powers that be for taking the person they love from them.

in blunted affect (lack of affect) and we use the same topic death. the person with lack of affect doesnt feel sadness of losing someone they love, they cant feel angry with the powers that be for taking the person they love from them, they cant move through the grieving process because they feel no emotions and show no emotions.
