You make excellent points, Puppy, thank you so much. You sure you don't want to become a coach? I'll pay a few bucks to be able to call you up.
Anyway, that aside... do you hold to me doing an intervention, or simply telling H that I know, I will not put up with it, etc?
Keeping in mind that I'm 50-50 on the whole intervention thing working because one of H's most basic needs is to be liked and approved of (if his friends/family side with me, there goes that) and his second nature is to run from conflict - so an intervention would only make him run away.
Guess I'm not a gambler. I want someone to say "this will work" I guess.
