That's so great about the calendar. It sounds like real progress. Validate, validate, validate on that one. If I were you, I would also consider going light on pencilling myself in a lot at first. Just a thought. Especially if he feels he is making a big time gesture with his new work, hobbies, and figuring out how he will "fit in" his "new self and independent life" with his old. Just a thought. The "space" and "me time" stuff seems really touchy with some of these Hs. A minefield.
