Karen... Was H able to tell you that the reason he couldn't get into sex was because of the upcoming family trip? I think if you both could communicate about some of the reasons behind his LD, it would take some of the personal sting out of the equation. No comment on the Jessica Simpson stuff...suffice to say it doesn't help with your state of mind to go down that route.
It's a postive step that H is suggesting some couples time...hopefully it will be the start of some sexual reconnection. Hang in there!
