When amicable makes you want to scream

[Pudmuddle]

Now here is where the panic comes in...did I do too much? Am I going overboard? Am I over thinking this? Should I throw some dirt around the house and leave the dishes in the sink?

You are overthinking it and he will see that you are trying to hard. Relaaaaaaaaaax. What you are doing is what you would be doing "as if" you were not having issues at the moment. So I think it is a beautiful effort.

Remember to breathe through your nose and out through your mouth, do that a few times when you start to feel nervous. And go into this with NO expectations of any great reactions from him. If you base it off of his reactions you will be disappointed and unhappy. Do it because you want to do it for him, not to specifically please him, ok?

You can do it!!!
