Again, I see a comparison between my H and yours. My H is definitely, "its over, don't discuss it", but continues to be supportive, open, and willing to do what I need if I ask. You've made the decision to give it another year by accepting the contract, so see where this next year takes you. After all, a year ago it was papers in hand.... I wouldn't color your H gone, just not sure what move to make next.
