Yes, I disagreed w/my H & the way he dealt with things (running away as well). But I have learned to understand that we all deal with things differently. I have let go of that blame w/my H & actually feel sad for him.
Sometimes, keeping DB in mind & going with your gut feeling is the best way to go. If her mood isn't inviting to say what you want or should then don't & wait. Either way I would keep it light, don't act wound or weak. After my 1st DBcoaching session was I was supposed to reduce his reluctance, she also pointed out (in my case) there was a struggle for control, my H also wanted attention & revenge.
I agree with COG, no pressure, no guilt, no blame.
