I think Coach's words about men liking to be providers is very true, that is one thing I have discovered with my H now. If I mention that I would like to buy something in particular or need something in particular, he now provides it without me having to go and get it, he doesn't say he is going to do it, just does it.
Your H is working his way back out of his fog or wherever he has been, it will however require a bit more patience on your part for him to return fully, so I wouldn't be in a big hurry with your expiration date. Keep going as your are with your activities and enjoy your new found freedom of having a job but still try to remain supportive and interested in your H and what he is doing. I have found that becoming more interested in my H's interests has made the world of difference as we continue moving forward.
