Good for you for insisting on dinner. A similar thing happened with me and my H a few days before our BD. The difference was, my H clearly didn't want to be at dinner and it was miserable for both of us. Wish I'd been more tuned in back then.
It sounds like the two of you are making a lot of progress.
