Avery talked about a turning point in their relationship after she revealed to Dom that she was in a low place in her life. Since being open, she noted that Dom was becoming more mature, appreciative, kind, and respectful. He is focusing less on himself. 

He is also working on improving his thoughts. He stated, “Now I don’t have to get upset in traffic. I can choose not to let it bother me.”

Dom is considering quitting drinking. Avery mentioned that his drinking caused mood swings and irritability, and he is gradually improving. She’s more focused on spending time together, affection, and intimacy. 

Years ago, during a brief period of good behavior, Dom talked about “faking it.” Avery worried that this period would also be short-lived. Dom replied, “When you’re obsessed with yourself, it leads to toxic thinking.” He was becoming more aware of how his behavior and thoughts affected Avery.
