I agree, "the my way or the highway" is certainly no way to go, but this could have been an opportunity to negotiate. To try to find out why this was so important and possibly work to some happy medium instead of shooting it down.
I had a similar conversation with my W. She wanted to move our entire family to North Carolina, give up both of our careers and move to a place where we didn't have any family. Instead of listening to her and why she wanted to go, I came up with all these reasons why we shouldn't.
In hindsight, I should have expressed what my concerns were and what her motives were and try to work out a plan on how to alleviate my concerns and meet her goals. That is just my sitch, one of the things I would have handled better.
