My poor H got squirmy too when I asked if he wanted some of my apple slices with caramel dip. He said sure. I sat down right next to him! Gasp! He was so flabbergasted that he couldn't snack at the same time as me, but when I had eaten half I got up to move and he had such a weird look, like he thought I was upset, but I just smiled and went off to do something else. Then he relaxed and ate the rest of the snack. I definitely bumped his comfort zone!

When I add this to what you wrote on my thread it seems like your H sees you as controlling him and he is rebelling. How is his business? Are you the breadwinner? Are you the organized woman that 'brings home the bacon and fries it up in the pan'? Those aren't bad traits but it does make it hard to balance the support of a H who is derailed.
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
