...he's expecting that your H will have not done the homework.
Maybe Mr. HW is a dead-line guy.

Imaginary situation on ST day. Lets say your ST appointment is at 4P.M.
Shower together at 3 P.M. a little kissy face at 3:15, H looks at clock and says "we better get going if we want to be on time."

Homework partially completed but 'we" ran out of time excuse.

I am not trying to be critical of Mr. HW, just thinking of what could happen.

HW catching up on paperwork, balancing the cheque book - you name it. Everything else but!!
He sounds like an orderly person. Some people are not good at keeping up with the paper work.
