I figured your H did something for the holiday! See, even I have expectations for him. Ha!
I'm trying to think about what I would do if I were you. (Not that you're doing anything wrong, just that it is a challenging situation!) I like your Be the Change idea. I guess if I had to interact with WH so much and he was being so. . . friendly and helpful. . . I would have to have a protective fence up somehow. And I would try to make that fence be a type of mirror to myself so I could GAL and self-improve despite being around him so much!
How do you plan to be the change?
