DG, I'm of the opinion that sometimes we have to do something different, surprising, unlike us. I think you shook up the dynamic for both you and your H. What the long term impact will be, who knows. The pain now, yeah, I completely get that. But... it sounds like you were somewhat stuck, and maybe this was the little push to get you unstuck.
Big hugs DG! You deserve them!
