Guessing is not any better than having an open minded conversation. Try to find interesting topic for him to talk about, something that makes him smile then transition to a point where you bring back your pre marital memories specially the ones that made you happy and got more attracted by him. Try to mention all memories that you saw him laugh. Then encourage him to discuss the current situation.

He is a workaholic who works 6 days a week. He owns his own business, so that could be it. Also, he has never been that expressive or emotional most of the time. He's usually stoic, so it could be that expressing emotions tend to be unnatural and uncomfortable for him.
Still, you'd think that after 20 years, he could think of something else to say. I don't think that I'm expecting to much of him. I know what things he likes to talk about, but those things tend to be about things that are somewhat impersonal in nature such as politics, cars, tractors, planes, and stuff like that. When it comes to more personal things though, his usual response is OK for most things when I ask him how work was for example. So, I guess that I'll just have to live with him being this way. Thanks for the link.
