Once you made your BIG PLAN, AVRT (not AVERT) suggests that you no longer have a problem because Recognition is effortless. But I know what you mean -his Beast misses your Beast and is deeply threatened by the possibility that you've actually given your Beast the fatal blow.

If I were in your shoes, and wanted to try to save (or establish for the first time) a meaningful relationship, I would call my spouse on what might be a bluff.

I would do a little research and buy my spouse a couple books on how to start a micro-distillery and emphatically demand that it be done right, lawfully, or adios amigos. I wouldn't be party to anything so stupid to give me fines, lawyer fees, and a criminal record.
