And now I question if that was the right decision. With this being his blood family, should I have taken a back seat? Asked him if he would want me to attend?
Don’t fret over it.
SIL invited you. (Along with the kids and H.) It’s not up to H if you can attend or not.
It can be tricky/difficult with “family related by marriage”. Post divorce is especially so, as one is no longer related. Some aunts/uncles and nieces/nephews relationships remain and others fade. If it gets to that point (divorced), time will tell. For me, I have mostly no contact with any of XW’s blood family. Only one of her cousins and I still exchange Christmas cards and pictures, though it’s likely to keep the door open to my kids as XW pretty much has nothing to do with the kids nor her family.

Possibly.
I suspect H is starting to look inward. Maybe even has been for a while. What direction his journey will go is unknown. Time will tell.
Like you said, stage watching is not all that helpful. (Perfectly normal, just not too helpful. ) And MLCer’s are embroiled in running for a long time.
True, there has been a change in H’s outward behaviours. Let him be, and keep moving forward. And keep living and loving life.
It’s perfectly fine to have hope, just keep the expectations at zero.
I’ve not had opportunity to try Pitch yet. I’m considering forming a card playing group.
Have a great Sunday. I’m going to paint another window before the snow starts flying around here. lol.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
