Great points! I've been trying to down that road too. 300 to 260 since May.
I like your point of just always remaining calm.
Anyone have advice on how to deal w/ constant attacking emails. I try to be understanding and validate, but when she makes a threat or try to say how things are going to be, I can't help myself. I know the answer, just don't respond if I can't do so in a way that will help.

Still together(ish)
Not giving up: 7/14
D talk has slowed, a lot.
Gradually working on things together. Still separate bedrooms.
Slow and Steady wins the race.
