VerySad, until you can stop allowing "him" (his moood swings, his words, his actions)to affect your outlook and how you determind what your day be will like, it will do no good to suggest new strategies. As Bond said, you have to learn to master the basic techniques first.
You are so dependency upon your H dictates your life and it just should not be like that. It is unhealthy. You need to lay that emotional rope down and move forward with living.
Do you like your changes? Do you like the woman you are right now? Can you be happy with her? You see, this should be all about you....not all about him.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
