Quote: H is being unusually uninterested in this entire thing. He keeps assuring me that he was "callous" but is sorry for it and will try to be more interested tonight.
My guess is that HoneyH is FAR from callous! I'll bet he's terrified out of his wits!! His way of dealing with it is not to burden you with his fears and probably not even to admit them too much to himself. He probably feels that he needs to be the Strong Man and not show fear. From what you've told me about him he is absolutely besotted with you and your kids and the idea of being without you for even a couple of days while some stranger does mean things to you is almost more than he can bear. He can't help but imagine (as one does at a time like this) what it might possibly be like if you were gone, and I'll bet he is beside himself with worry that he feels he cannot show or share.
