now i have stopped SH completely...i get tempted but i have been successful so far.

I am feeling more confident in telling him that before we delve into these scenarios...there is a down side for me...i may start hurting myself afterwards . there is no win for me here. i can stand tall and face it...then come home, and hurt myself.
If you talk to him about it, hopefully, before you work on those scenarios, he can help you come up with some other coping mechanisms, like a list of other things to do before SH if you're feeling the urges.
