I am so sorry, I know it's hard. Just the fact that you are ABLE to put off the crying tells me you are doing well.
I walked through LNT one night and spent at least 3 hours in there - the staff seemed to feel bad telling me it was closing time and I had to leave. It was neat picking stuff out but I know that feeling, it's like you're walking in a daze going "So this isn't my life or anything but if it WAS, here's how I'd want to decorate my room..." (least that's how it felt to me). I hope you pick something out you really love!! (hey check your mail first too.. just today I got a 20% off entire purchase holiday coupon for LNT..).
I hope he'll wait too. I have known a few of the WAS who still cared a lot about their LBS's feelings and have been amazed at HOW thought out the D filing was. Avoiding birthdays, anniversaries, etc. I hope your H will do that.
Sounds like a pretty good situation with the rental where you can check it out but not sign anything long term just yet.
