I am so proud of the effort that you put forth today. You did everything right. You went in there looking good. Made minimal, but only necessary contact. Created a little mystery about what you were doing by letting him know that you were going to Australia for the weekend. Good Job!!!
See how you feel when you put your mind into and act "as if." It's a wonderful feeling.
As far as the misery of your H being a step in the right direction; I would only caution you to realize that he looks unhappy and nothing else. Don't count your efforts at DB'ing as to the cause of his misery. His misery is of his doing; what we hope will happen is that he will see how happy you are and want to come back.
