The more you can show that you're independent of him; the more you can show him that you're moving forward. I'd try to keep him away from doing things around the house as much as possible. There might be times when it's necessary; but you need to show that you don't "need" him.
If he notices that other men are helping you; that my make him more curious. You know him better than I; what would be his reaction if he knew that other men were helping? Not that is should be his concern and he has "other interests" now.
