Careful Regret....that sounds like you're almost setting yourself up. Even though the page has turned and you are in a new chapter, I think you've got to continue to DB. Be happy, smile, laugh, enjoy life. Don't get tied up in the timing of things.
I think it's really awesome that your H recognized how much work you did so he could go on this trip. His effort to buy you something was his way to say "thank you." I think that was a positive. You telling him you want him to "be more involved" sounds like a negative. I'd try to steer clear from those for a while.
Otherwise, how are you feeling? Are you staying busy? How's life with H away?
