Hi Aver, Yes, please let us know how it goes. It sounds like you have a good plan. One of the aspects of my M that I have taken responsibility for and am now working on changing is that I gave my H too much space. Now that we are piecing, I make sure I sit close to him, brush his arm when I walk past him, look in his eyes when he is talking, etc. I started doing some of this during DBing when the A was active as well, although in a more subdued way. H now tells me this did have an affect. You can do it!
