You've got something going for you here, and that is that you've been thru this three times with him before. I'm not trying to be a smartass, but you have a TON of real-life data at your disposal to use, even if most of it "what DOESN'T work," kwim?
Not following you here...
I mean, some of us fly by the seat of our pants, and others come on message boards like these, and try to learn from OTHER people's sitches (and there are definitely patterns to affairs). But you get to actually look back at your OWN patterns, and see what's worked, and what didn't, and try to learn from it.
