Then there's his previous drug addiction that would have had some level of brain injury.. plus his brain lesions from his MS. I honestly can't answer your questions with certainty.
I guess moving forward, since he's in therapy (and with our benefits package, we're only entitled to 5-6 visits total) I'm trying to address concerns I have so he can forward them on to his therapist.. as he has, so far.
For me, I was wanting everyone's perspective on what is appropriate behaviour towards your significant other, in terms of compliments, sexual advances, etc.. so I'm not being unnecessarily critical to the point he's not going to know how to behave around me at all.. and clearly, I'm not sure what's respectful, what is typical guy behaviour, and what is a definite no.

Well these aren’t typical guy behaviors and mostly these behaviors are not respectful at all. I know many people, these behaviors are not the norm
In my experience even with all PDs combined and drug addiction and brain leisures, he has at least some capacity to control something and be aware of something around him.
Unless maybe like I said before he is completely mentally incapacitated, but you said he works so he must have some awareness of what happens around him and what he does or says at least to some degree.
If he can figure out how to get himself to work and complete work task, he must have some awareness of something
