Mind Reading: you are looking at the professor in trying to analyze and mind read. I am terrible at avoiding it. In fact, I've attempted it so much one would think that I have it all figured out by now (don't of course).

Guilt is not necessarily a had thing. It means he still has feelings. And let the guilt eat at him a bit.

With what you have said about your H's need to take care of things...I too would keep quiet about it. He probably wants you to thank him to relieve some guilt and fill his needs...guess what, he isn't doing anything to try to fill yours and he should feel guilty...so I 100% agree with HFZ...if he brings it up a polite and sincere thank you is what you do.

What is a locum?

And remember, the bad days are not avoidable unfortunately. You are human. Minimize the downs and maximize the ups, that's all you can try to do
