A twist on cake-eating & dropping a bomb of my own

That's fantastic that he seems like he is stepping up to address one of your needs you mentioned. Also, very cool that he seems committed to coming home on time, no matter what.

I would caution though that if you KNOW things back in Factoryland are running behind schedule, I would probably not make it a goal of yours for him to change his plans to stay longer here. I just don't think it is probably a very realistic goal and I don't want you to set yourself up for disappointment. It *could* happen, but it seems like the real life pressures/expenses/etc weighing on the company side of things probably will make that really unlikely.

A better goal might be for specific interactions you want to have while he is home with you. (bath together, talk in bed, talk again about what you both see as the future direction of the company and your role, etc)
