I totally agree about everything you said about your girls. I think of girls all the time, how they have this safe, loving world and H is willing to shake that all up, althewhile (like your W) saying they are his top priority.
And yes, I have stopped worrying about H's happiness/moods/whatever, and just enjoyed my kids more. Helps a lot, since they love me unconditionally. I don't feel that elsewhere in my house.
