I think that most of that all covers the operations side of thing. Keep working on your business acumen and your role as a true, equal partner in the venture. I think you are moving in a good direction, there.
There's now a couple other things obviously, one is the possible disentanglement of yourself from the business, if that's what you want. Or alternatively, making the financial part more formalized. The other is, of course the reason you are really here, which is the personal side of your R.
So on the first, do you really want to leave the business?
Whether yes or no, it is probably a good idea to disentangle both of your financial ties to the company. As your H indicated that the business is in the black, it might be a good idea for the both of you to take a portion of the profits which can reasonably be removed from the account and split it between the two of you to offset both of your original (and labour) input into the company. I don't know how that might look and would recommend referring to an accountant, unless the two of you can easily work that out. If you can clear both debtors (yours AND H's) from the books, then the company is doing great.
If your H isn't prepared to pull out his capitol investment, then that could be a problem if you plan on remaining a partner in the business.
On the personal side of things, keep working on detaching your personal interests from the business interests.
You noted earlier that you initiated a separation and the business was a means for the two of you to stay together. I'm not sure I get that logic. Can you fill in some blanks, there?
I think that could be helpful to understand what you might want to do, next. ie. Originally, regarding the business arrangement, you were wondering about working on the R and to possibly M.

I think the above is a good place to stay, for now. Formalizing the business as business and personal as personal, within your own mind.
If all he is doing is contacting you for business, then all you have right now is a business arrangement. Regardless of whether either of you want to save the R and move forward, together.
So I think also it might be great to understand, what does the "off season" look like, between the two of you? What has your R been like when work wasn't the major focus?
