Good stuff, DM.

Only a couple things popped out at me on first read:

I do understand that thinking. Here is maybe an alternative.

Why compare? It is unlikely that you will "forget" what "didn't work" in this M.

By thinking "I would like (this, this and this) and not (this and this) in my next R", then it does not exclude your H, yet it still achieves the same objective. Your H may or may not step up and fit those needs. It just doesn't have to exclude him.

What you say above COULD be true. And does appear fairly (self) limiting.

What ELSE could he miss? What else could you do for YOU (better or new), that might ALSO be something he might want and / or miss?

Not to do it FOR him and not to lose focus on things that may be MORE important. Just for consideration of thought.
