It might have gone better if you had...been less emotional...planned out what you wanted to say when you knew a conversation was going to turn toward a fight...crap like that.
But you know me...might is about as useful as wishing for a unicorn that poops out Skittles.
So I'll say good job on not going WAY over baord on the fight.
Look in your H I see confusion.
Liken his 5 day change to YOU just figuring out the ideas of DBing that believing that you actually know how to.
To be honest his 5 day insights...good for him. Now the trick is to live them...and you are right 5 days is too soon to change a leopards spots...but at least he was thinking in the right direction. Give him credit for that. His leaning in the right direction.
Control your emotions better when in a fight. Remember what YOU want. AND even if you DO NOT KNOW what you want..the idea is to leave as many options available so you can pick and choose later.
I will say this about him...
he seems to be trying.
I also love that while you do have some 'buts' in there...not one of them is "I know...but..."
You are proud of your actions...good for you.
A DB success...maybe not as you once though of as a success when you first got here, but a success none the less. : )
