It is probably more excitment than neediness (it just comes across as neediness to your H). I think you pretty much know where you are heading.....he does to, you just want the BS to end and start to enjoy your life.....he wants to walk a little slower that's all.
I think the pace he setting is good, it kind of makes you both think about things a little bit and appreciate what it took to get there.....this isn't a lesson that you want to get through quickly and forget about it later only to relearn it all over again....it is good if it is ingrained in your head. It gives more opportunities for these changes you have both made to become who you are thus not falling back into old habits
