Rollercoaster Ride - I'm just strapping in...

[ChuckF]

Hey, RoRo, sounds like you're doing great work, probably better than you know. A couple of quick suggestions - I'd switch your GAL priorities around. That is, playing nursemaid depends on how much you plan to go to Curves and Kickboxing. This isn't mean or selfish, it's balanced, healthy relating.

Second, how are you planning to respond if he says he's moving out? Think about what he expects you to say and do, he probably has a clear expectation and it's probably negative. It is a great DB opportunity to give him something different - more calm, confident, even playful - that can really challenge his beliefs about you. What do you want to say, and how do you want to say it? Have you ever been on stage? You rehearsed your lines, and your blocking, so that when the lights were on and the audience in place you could present your character with conviction! Rehearse this!

My hope is that you'll not have to "perform" this, but being prepared gives you confidence and, ironically, makes it less likely that you'll need to! Hang in there, you can do this!
