Alone, You have a lot to take in and it's going to take some time to settle down a bit. You did the right thing by allowing him to chat away. Sometimes when you do this, you'll begin to get a bird's eye view of what his life is like right now. The eye contact is a good sign that he's having a moment or so of clarity. Generally, when they can't look you in the eye, it is because of guilt and shame.
For now, it sounds like he is going to try to work with you on furniture storage. Not many would consider finding someplace nearby for the convenience of the spouse. Time will tell on how long he'll be kind and considerate. I hope he will continue to do so, but if things start to get a bit "heated" or you rock the boat, his attitude could change just a bit. I hope not, but you need to be aware that sometimes when they are challenged or we don't agree w/them, they tend to get ugly, i.e., like a 2 yr old having a temper tantrum.
Try to enjoy your weekend. Do something nice for yourself. You did very well today. I'm proud of you. Keep up the good work.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
