I am glad that you like my idea about skank. It would explain her parking by him and the teddy bear in the window. Could have been more of a "in your face" message to your h than any kind of message to you.
I am glad that you'll ask him to go on the trip with you but you are right to keep your expectations set at nil. And please do not worry about h while you are away. It is a waste of your time!
I still think that even if you go alone, you should make it a two day trip! It is an excellent time to let your h miss you and spend some luxury time by YOURSELF! MHO, you need some more alone time. It allows you to think clearly, think just about YOU and re-group.
