4 nights in a row is fantastic progress! And really, the ring thing is huge. I would LOVE for H to put his ring on. This says so much, even if it is only around you. The fact that this is recent, too, says to me that he's been thinking more positive things as of late in terms of your relationship.
Keep the faith Opt, I know what you mean about the gray feeling, but please see all of the positives in your sitch. I think most people on this board would kill for 4 nights with their H, even without romance, and then you have the ring too.
Can I ask what 180s you've been doing or how you have been using this face time to your advantage?
