Oh and I have one more thing to add - I find the following things, while a good part of DB'ing, are also required to keep the positive changes going:
1. GAL - I cannot make H responsible for my happiness. he doesn't make me happy or unhappy, these are feelings I choose for myself 2. Don't panic!!! The wisest words in the world. Sometimes I feel the sky is falling, only for a couple of days later it to appear normal again. Your 48-hour rule is a godsend in these circumstances 3. Sharing feelings ... and communicating clearly. it's a pure LUXURY now to have a H who really listens. I feel sometimes H doesn't get what I'm saying ... I used to give in, now I will keep on going, rephrasing until I can get my feelings understood by him (it helps that he is willing to listen)
