I'm so glad you were able to get the project done and get some sleep.

My family members are pretty insensitive (mixed with overly sensitive-ha!). My father has absolutely NO FILTER MECHANISM and my husband's needs some serious overhauling. Neither one will change.
But I think men are in general are wired differently- look at the way that they talk to each other.

I hope your plan for your dh works out well. Please let me know how it turns out!
