I can imagine that if my H actually said those things, it would be almost impossible to keep expectations low.
DBing advice seems to be not to trust this type of thing until it's been consistent over a longer period of time, to respond with 'muted pleasure' to such overtures - don't shut them down, but don't get overly excited about it either.
I think this may be the hardest part of this part of the process, ba - continuing to stay detached and maintain your changes while you seem to be on the verge of finally getting what you've been trying for such a long time to achieve.
