I think you've got a great approach on things, Liss. I mean, he has nothing to be a sh!t about right now. He can't man up enough to just act on his own, and you've given him nothing to react to.
The downside is, sooner or later that dam will break. But, you're taking care of your stuff and doing what you know to do, so let him.
Working out's not my thing either, unless it's 12 oz. curls in diminishing sets.
