Sorry I missed this post. I think that H's own issues are totally what's responsible for him not being able to look at you that way at the moment. I'm sure as he deals with them, the looks will start to come back. My H seems to go through mini-phases of giving me the look and then not being able to look at me at all for weeks. It's almost as though he feels guilty about it, which is stupid considering that I'm his lovely W!
I totally agree with the sentiments about the Horse having to worry about his ability to move on from you. He's not been able to do it so far. That kind of suggests to me that he's not likely to be able to for quite a long time (if ever!)
