Yeah, I would definitely point out to him when he gets the "I know it all" philosophy, that sometimes an outside perspective helps (as well all know from here!)
Maybe if he feels that way about you rubbing it in his face about coming home means no OW, then don't say that, at least not in those terms. Work around it by sharing new feelings, like the concern that OW's H is gone (which all address the same issue, but maybe would come off as not so attacking?) But it's good that he acknowledges that he knows the rules, so he can't blame it on ignorance. Just continue to encourage him (good idea for the card) but reconfirm the lines where necessary. It definitely is a fine line, so in some areas, you may need to test his response a bit.
Awww, I totally feel for you regarding S. It breaks my heart too, but it is necessary evil in this case. Maybe just try to remind him how much you love him and what a big boy he is being by sleeping in his own bed. But oh, so heart wrenching! =\
