"1. h. made a bunch of positive comments/compliments to me yesterday
2. h told me he loved me multiple times on sat
3. we enjoyed our afternoon and evening yesterday despite all the horrendous rain."
I'm also glad to hear that you are not going to dismiss your need for reassurance but instead work on a different way in getting it.
I know that the unhappy incident that occured the other night is being referred to as a "backslide", however, in my opinion, I see it more as an event of powerful proportions.
It's kind of like unclogging a stopped up drain. It's a bit messy and it will make you sweat, but when it's over, the water begins to flow.
I think that the real danger here is in what happens after the "unclogging". You both seem to be handling it well and hopefully your H will be a little more sensitve to some of your needs now.
