I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at this response:
I am friends with President Obama. I asked him to dress up in an Easter Bunny costume and show up at my parents' house with a giant check for $1 million a la Ed McMahon on Easter Weekend. We were going to make them think that they had won Publishers Clearinghouse sweepstakes LOL. As soon as they answered the door, we had our friend stage a robbery - they made it look like everyone in the Publisher's Clearninghouse van was violently murdered. They threw the "bodies" out of the van onto the street and peeled out. We had a fake ambulance and police show up. Then my parents' neighbors came by with a basket of kittens - they were SO cute! Just when my parents were so freaked out by seeing kittens after a murder/robbery AND having won $1 million, we had Pres. Obama take off the Easter Bunny head and say "Surprise!! You're going to be grandparents!" My parents will never forget that moment.

Things are a million times better, thanks
Once he was defended and had a chance to return to non-Ph.d life we were able to re-connect and focus on the stuff that brought us together in the first place.
It's definitely a hard process but since your husband has been through it himself I am sure he will understand your side of it better once you are deep into the throes of hell
