Share what has worked positively in your R. I think it would be great to have one condensed list for all of us to get encouragement from so share, share!!

1) My giving husband space and saying yes to his requests for time away. We are S.

2) No R talk and not "pressuring" him. Having NO expectations and treating him like a friend.

3) Meeting his LL. Being receptive and happy to have any and all physical contact (physical touch has actually become my 1st LL too)and also affirming and validating him.

4) I like to talk, so when I don't talk and give H time, he usually speaks and tells me something he normally wouldn't. He does not respond well to asking him a lot of questions it makes him feel like he is getting the 3rd degree.

Well, that's what I have thought of so far. How about everyone else?? We know DB works but what have you actually observed in your R??? nik
