Thanks for that. I get the action behind the words thing, so am moving fast in setting up my studio and getting moving on the commercial front. Maybe once I get my commercial portfolio online and start marketing myself (within a couple of weeks), he'll relax a bit on the finance front. It's a building process, so I hope he will feel a little less resentment when he sees that developments are happening, and I'm moving in that money-making direction.
The next day - after the heated discussion about finances - he called. I could tell it was an apology of sorts, and I took the opportunity to explain my plan of action.
The next day after that, I got an email from H. He suggested a photo exhibition. I was so not expecting that. I am super highly impressed as this is the first time H has actively suggested seeing a photo exhibition. This is such a new direction for him, that I am soooo happy. Talk about getting some serious points with me.
So, my new methods are working (but of course he too is making an effort). I don't shout - no matter how heated a discussion gets - and simply state my position ONCE. This was something that MWD mentioned in her "How to change your man without him knowing it book). Don't keep harping on I don't keep going on and on about it (like I used to), and just leave it be.
So, we're going to an exhibition today WOW!! This is his first major exhibition.
