So I used to always grill him on what he was doing, especially with his LF. I don't ask about her or what he's doing at all anymore.

I've been working on really listening openly when he's talking to me and to ask questions that show I really want to know, rather than getting defensive or doing what he calls "attacking" him. When we are together, I make sure to give him quality time, and really pay attention to him, whereas I used to get distracted by my phone quite often before. I'm working on addressing my phobias, something I had previously just avoided before, and sometimes it would affect things we could go out and do. (I'm afraid of loud noises, particularly balloons.) I'm also trying to always have a PMA (whoops, I wrote PMS at first, LOL) when I see him, whereas there used to be a lot of getting sad and emotional when we were together.
