I wonder if that's a unconscious response to your kindness to OW. Maybe, by your sorta accepting the sitch as it is, and even helping out with a job, it 'loosened' up his psyche some????? (If you have to 'use' the OW to get a better R out of H then I say bury her in kind acts ... she is not the problem, or the issue really, except a fly in the ointment on the odd occasion ... very annoying, but unavoidable for now ... ugh! )
Just doing a 'mmmmmm' analysis here, so huge conjecture.
Still, a nice positive step, no matter the reason, 'eh!
Take care.
