I guess I can join you in the I'm too old for this night out thing - was out til 5 am Sunday morning. Had one heck of a hangover Sunday. Can't do that again soon. Way too old!
Regarding your H, you both need to move at a pace that works overall for you both. Your going to have to adjust to one another again and become friends again. Think right now about rekindling the friendship. The rest of it will follow after that. You are starting over. Rome wasn't built in a day. This will take a while and have lots of ups and downs. Just don't quit before things have a chance to get going. You've waited this long. What's a little more time at this point?

God grant me the serenity,
to accept the things I cannot change,
To change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
