Breton,

You had some good stuff in your coaching session. I especially like the talk of letting your H take over the emotional space. That is interesting. The boundaries are good too.

One thing with DB, as you said, it helps in other aspects of life. I have found the notions of doing something different to be useful at work too.

I would probably suggest "Oh, poor baby." Guys can be dolts. You sometimes have to really zing them. You ever want a reaction, I can tell you what men like and don't like and what sticks with them. For example, you can call us pri*ks and we don't care. But call us a di*k and it makes a difference. Little differences.

The NY idea is awesome. Do it.
