Being deliberate ... that's a great reminder for me. Gotta work on that. Also this: "Never pass up a chance to STFU."

Also good to hear about what troubled childhood did to your W.

The one about letting the partner know subtly ... that's a really tough one. Not sure how to do it. Don't want to be perceiving as pursuing.
