It is a baby step definitely. But next time try not to let the 'tone' creep into your voice. Say 'fine' and mean it. act 'as if' you did not care about his getting home late and 'as if' you had had a great time on your own. If it is your insecurities that are pushing him away, do not act insecure in front of him. Come to the BB instead and vent to your hearts content
Remember, men do not relish the idea of coming home at 3 am to a grumpy W or a R talk. If you cannot act, fake the sleep
