I agree with Jak that you should let the finances go right now...no sense rocking the boat with that if you don't have to as long as you still feel comfortable having the finances together.
I'm really glad to hear that he's attempting to change things. I'd like to think that your two mysterious lunches with a stranger named Hope might have helped him see the light a little. Like everyone else says, don't get your hopes up and take it one day at time but this seems really promising to me. I'd say the best thing you can do is be pleasant, but still continue to move on with your life and do things for yourself....it seems like these WAS do fine until the LBS really starts moving on...hopefully, your H can see the light before it's too late.
