Again, it's weird how similar our sitches are right now.
I personally think that what helped push my WH to counseling was my strong line that I wouldn't be friends with him if we weren't a couple. So I also pulled away into different rooms, etc, when he came over. And I think it helped. It's still good though to do things like what you did for his birthday.
It's like you put on a black cover over your whole body (pulling away) but then flash your leg or your shoulder or your eye here and there. I think it works for gals like us.
(I have to laugh at myself for a moment-- strong line, ha! You guys know how I wavered in implementation. But I really tried. That's my point.)
Keep it up!
