It's the holiday season and you may see more activity of wanting to get together and do things and some won't want to be bothered. Your h wants to have family time because he's still feeling a connection to his old life and self. He sees you as a friend right now and who knows...maybe he doesn't have anyone else to be with at this time. But, whatever the reason, if you want to go out w/him, by all means do so...but if you feel it's hindering your own healing, then limit the time you spend with him.
Yep, the man is still in replay and I've seen his type of behavior quite frequently on here. If he offers you money, take it. If he offers to do some chores at home, take him up on the offer, if you feel comfortable doing so.
I am going to suggest that you look up Coly23's threads. Her h has done very similar when it comes to meeting up and doing things w/her and her daughter.
Time will tell where his head is at after the holidays. For now, pack for your trip and travel safely.
