Your day with the family sounds so wonderful. Hopefully there will be many, many more like that or even better in your future.

Keep trying to have patience. Your H is being very sweet to you at times. This is process and hopefully your H is working on letting go of the issues that keep his walls up and keep him from always treating you as an equal. For now, C seems to be the best place to deal with all of these issues.
