thanks for the tip 2TH. I can actually foresee this exact thing now you say it, as if we do have a disagreement he still 'fights' a little like he used to and brings up old situations or makes correlations to things that are now void - he has been beginning to realise this and then make apologies but this doesn't always happen. I can see that it would only take a couple of these instances for him to think things have gone back to how they were. I suppose I take from this the importance of still maintaining the happiness and validation as I do feel like because things are good I've let my guard done a little.
Always something to ponder :-)
