Hey Wendylon
I've not been over "here" for a while.
Thanks for dropping by my thread.
I see you are having success all round with the "dropping the rope" and keeping your panties on properly!!!
I figure it's all cause and effect.

I also agree depersonalising behaviour is a great thing to have discovered via the board. I used to think H does that to annoy me (how self orientated) but H is just H and others may do the same thing.

I realised that I even did this w food, the other day, when I said I like jacket potatoes with cheese and coleslaw and a friend answered ewww and I said really, you don't like that? She shook her head. I accepted that was how she was but god forbid if H said he didn't like something I liked. How ridiculous!

Yes, "we'll see" on the alcohol with others and food only rule based on what you told us previously. I'm sure you'll DB the "manage" or "remind" him part of you...something I know I am crap at!

Enjoy your break from H whilst he's away
