GTO, you sound a lot more empowered and self-assured. That's awesome. The lawn? My H did the same. Said it was too soon to sell the lawnmower and that he could just come over every two weeks and do the lawn. It's good you showed independence but at the same time ask yourself if during the M your H didn't feel needed. That might be a 180 for you. It's the only food for thought I can come up with. Great job, and yes, time will tell.
