You and I have the same dynamics in our Rs. I also want to get it out in the open, deal with it and move on and H wants to hold a grudge. I can't see the positive in that but that's who we chose. Is H holding a grudge against you for any reason?
MWD's advice is NOT to say ILY. I know it feels natural to say it but it's part of backing off not to. I would also let him come to you for any kiss goodbye. I know I want to baby my H right now but I think it's part of pursuing.
I would just keep responding positively to any gestures he makes towards you but try not to be the initiator.

Love means not giving up on someone even if they've given up on you.
