ditto about expectations, have none. You must respect his desicion to leave the party early as upsetting as it might be. I'm telling you this because I used to be a control freak, always thought what was best and what my H should or should not do. It is a way to show you respect his opinion, he doesn't want to stay, well, he misses out, don't get upset about it.
About the parties, just do your preparations as usual, and let him know he is welcome to come, period, if he wants to have a party on his own for them then that will b on him.
