Hello so very,
Turn the tables a moment. If your AH said to you, "Baby, while I'm away I am going to really focus on beating it. I've got the meetings or my sponsor or whatever lined up to get me through this trip." Would you believe him? I imagine you've heard what you want to hear before and fell for that previously.
So say nothing about your planned self work. Write yourself your goals. Work on them while he is away. Keep us posted as I imagine in time your name here won't really fit. All the best!
