Hello from Scotland.
Everyone gets something different from a holiday.A lot depends on what a persons work enviroment it is.
When I was a young stay at home Mother I longed for conversation.My husband would say his day had been same as usual.Tables turned later...when I worked in a busy enviorment and if asked at dinner in the evening what kind of day....I'd say the same as her had so long ago.
I know of two promoted staff in education who pledge to switch off until a chosen time when they share...
so maybe your husband needed down time.

Also and important.Is he well...
The ladies here will all share their opinion.And can be elied upon to be wise...humerous and loving.
