One of the best things I gathered about DB'ing was to think about the BIGGEST amount of patience you have ever had to employ and then multiply it by a factor of 5. It's a long road filled with non-linear progress....forward....back....up....down. Lather, rinse, repeat. One month in isn't much yet, and you appear to be doing MUCH better then I was at my month 1. I was still blaming her hormones and anything else that I thought would make sense.
