I fully expect that my H will do something today that will be the equivalent of turning off his cell phone. I didn't treat him like a child last night, so he will probably "act out" in order to get some "maternal" attention.
I have to say it's much better to be thinking about my relationship rather than reacting to it. Perhaps this is another way to "differentiate".
