Hope you're having a great time! I'm glad that you didn't have to cut your trip short because of $$.
Just like you shouldn't believe anything your H tells you, you shouldn't believe anything he says to anyone, especially mutual friends. His mind is elsewhere right now and he thinks he has made up his mind. Even if he had any second thoughts about any of it, I don't think he'd be sharing them with anyone. That said, I understand how it feels.
A couple of weekends ago when my H told me he wanted to move out, our mutual friend tried to "talk some sense into him". H was telling him exactly the same things he told me. The next day he started to show little positive signs. My friend told me that he felt that H wasn't himself. At least we know that something is wrong, and it is NOT us.
