Hey JF! I'm glad you're experiencing a period of calm and relative sanity with W.
My DB coach instructed me to always lay way back, give H space, STFU, BUT to be approachable and friendly when H approaches me first. T2 calls it being aloof but approachable.
The trick is to not get fooled into thinking things are normal. I tend to do this when my H is acting normal, which happens a lot now. I forget and try to engage him in conversation once too often, only to have the zombie dead eye mask drop over his face, and he is likely to turn and walk away without a word. Spewing has decreased at this point, it's more like H ignores me and does not acknowledge my existence.
But...enjoy your interactions with W while they last!
