Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

This is part of the Florida Rules regarding Request for Admissions. The time limit is confusing:

"The matter is admitted unless the party to whom the request is directed serves upon the party requesting the admission a written answer or objection addressed to the matter within 30 days after service of the request or such shorter or longer time as the court may allow but, unless the court shortens the time, a defendant shall not be required to serve answers or objections before the expiration of 45 days after service of the process and initial pleading upon the defendant."

My question is that I sent my husband A Request for Admissions; it's been more than 30 days since service. Are my requests deemed admitted? Where does the 45 days mentioned above come into play?
