But I have many things that point to him loving me as being a real possibility, and so I believe and I hope that he does.

No problem with that.

Of course by that standard, as you point out in the example I quoted, so are a lot of non-believers. We just don't hope for un-natural mechanisms as explanations for observed phenomena or an ever-ever land afterlife.
