I'm so sorry you had that conversation. You know one of the reasons I have been so good at DBing this year is because I'm terrified that if I ask, that is what my husband would say. So I admire your courage in asking and being able to hear what he said in reply.
Nevertheless - you know your H is in turmoil at the moment and what he thinks today, he may not think tomorrow.
Take care.
