It all sounds extremely positive. I would not worry about the ILY. Your sitch is not really one of those where it seems like it would spook your H. I love that he brought you a present. I think that speaks volumes. I'd take a heartfelt gift over an ILY right now as actions are more meaningful...
I also wouldn't worry about the different things he's talking about doing with his money. Even if he did jet off to Europe, wouldn't it be great if he knew he could do this and come back home to you? He may just need to get this stuff out of his system. Honestly try to think of it as avoiding a midlife crisis down the road! As you said too, he may just be talking. All these WASs seem to like to talk about their inifinite possibilities of things they can do on their own. I think if we just listen, they might lose the appeal.
Anyway well done on avoiding big R talks or getting baited into fights!
You'll have another day with him, so make the most of it ;).
