So great that your bought some new clothes. Dont wait for a night out to wear you new clothes find a way to wear them on a regular day, maybe the top with jeans. Pretend you are headed somewhere later.
I think next time your H offers to buy you something you should take him up on it. I think taking him up on any offer is a form a validate.
Maybe think about what you can do to make your home even more homey when H returns. Nothing to different, but a good cleaning or softer lighting, subtle things to contrast cold hotel rooms.
Hang in there, you are doing great.
