Hi MKB,

Your recent interactions with your H sound pretty volatile and dramatic. It sounds exhausting and painful for both of you. Were the two of you also relating like that pre BD or last time he had an A? I think Tumbling's guess at what might be going on could be true:

It does sound as if he is really good at baiting you. I'm curious about whether he did the same thing six years ago with the first bomb? Was your DBing any different then?

We need to keep biting our tongue. It's hard.

It's great that you didn't raise your voice in your last interaction. Keep building on that, MKB. You've done it before, you can do it again--good DBing that is.
