MIL's comment made me shake my head and chuckle, she's a real hoot!
I agree with you and GAG about MIL. Be the sweetest you can be around her for now. You need her in your court right now, and since we have all witnessed her motherly influence on H during her recent visit, I'd be turning her thoughts completely around.
Tackle this next chapter with baby steps, try not to overwhelm H. Give him just enough of you and your love so that he always wants more. It's very important that they still want what we have to offer.
Food and Acts of Service, Hmmmm, lots of ideas. You can build on these easily. Last summer you had H doing all sorts of things around the house for you....Patio Furniture, BBQ, I could go on and on....
Christmas is very good for you....I am going to assume this means he hasn't made plans with the OW. Yeah!!!
(((Cas))) Keep the updates coming, I love reading about your triumphs!!
