Sounds like your H wants to take the lead. Good work on pulling back on the reins yesterday. A work in progress is all anybody can be, your H too. It takes discipline to change your ways. It sounds like being in control is part of your character, and at some point your H must have seen that as attractive ? Being assertive is a great asset, but not now when his perception is muddled and it looks like aggressive . Careful to watch out for the differance with him.
