This is how I would know that my DBing is working:
1. H stops having the "deer in the headlights expression" when he greets me (H is not timid, quite the opposite, yet he looks freaked out and haunted when he sees me...I should be the one looking like that!)
2. H smiles at me
3. H makes a joke
4. H comments on any change that I've made
5. H mentions the future in a way that indicates uncertainty (not as if the D is a done deal)
6. H touches me in any way
7. H initiates any activity that would involve us being together as a family
