H4L, you are just OOZING that you are in a better place. It's very, very attractive to your H when you are upbeat like this.

Whether or not you win him back, you have just made it MUCH harder for him to give up. He will be very curious where this is coming from--stay upbeat, yet a little mystery is fine too.

WHEN he tries to bring you down (and he will) do just as the coach said--validate until he looses it and then give him the script (a good one, btw!! I'm going to borrow that!!)

And smile--smiling is a very, very poweful DB tool. I just was reminded of that recently. When you answer the phone, put a big smile on your face. When you see H, smile. Keep him guessing.lol. It's fun!
