So you have a couple of things you'd like to work on. What are some small goals to help you? I have to admit, I'm the type to fall asleep watching TV next to my H.
As for item #2--what can you do to add some humor? I've found that sometimes, even if H is in a bad mood, I can make a joke. And, even if he doesn't respond immediately, it will help lighten the mood. Maybe there's something fun the two of you can do together? Sort of like something you would do on a date?
