Have you become the newbie and the newbies the veterans? What would you say to this person if you read their post?
Look for the positives!

Would this be an example of something a WAS might say? Something 100% negative?
Quote: Am I making H feel inadequate? Am I causing him to feel as if he can do nothing right? I don't know. He tells me one thing and acts the opposite.
Can you control his actions, words. behavior? Who is the only one you control?
I see LOTS of positives. You can tell him what you want and what is on your mind. He may get upset, angry, hurt, but you know you have been honest with yourself. Look at your behavior when you do NOT tell him something; it eats you up and you take it out on yourself. Smart?
Hang in. Relish the fact you and H CAN have the communication you have and need.
