I don't know. Things haven't worked out for my M. Don't know that anything would have changed that though. My main regret is that I did put up with too much cra* for too long. I should have kicked him out sooner, since he was being so disrespectful and toxic really in his behavior. I think every sitch is prob. different. My guess would be a good way to go maybe is to DB for a period of time, but if things are worse, not better, go for the puppy approach. But I also think it took me a very long time to get the strength and self confidence to DB more puppy-style so that's a factor too.
Hey, SG, just wanted to say hi! also b/c haven't seen you around much. Miss ya! Karen
