He loves you RLA. Take it and run with it but don't take it for granted. He is hurt, but sounds like he is coming around. His comment on the budget was a direct example of his ego and manhood being wounded. His confidence has been hit hard. Instead of saying what you asked about if he saw the budget, offer to say something like," yes, we should have better cash flow. So why don't we go over the budget together and figure it out. We can figure out a budget that works and find places where money is best spent and not spent." Working on your M will be in all things you do and all interactions you have. These are exercises you do together and not even realize it is working on the M.
I really wish I were in your shoes, or rather your H's. My W is done and is so vindictive right now.
