Those are great behaviors to put into place! You have definately thought out how to back off - that's great! Now, if your behavior changes really start "working", what small, good responses/reactions would be you seeing from your h? For example, would he be less defensive, maybe smile, give eye contact, speak more politely, etc??? To help you out, think about how he used to warm back up to you after some kind of conflict in the past.
Btw, how long has it been since you have stopped all contact with him?
