Good for you for sticking to your guns. There comes a time when the DB methods are not particularly the best ones to use. In your case, you act the way you feel and I personally feel that is a good way to be.
Only you know your H well enough to see through him, we can only guess and offer advice based on one side and one point of view.
I have seen this behaviour before though, when things don't work, this type of person reverts to the most recent 'working' method until things settle, then slip back to their own way again.
The only way out of this for him is to TOTALLY come clean and change. Something that if it's not part of his 'core' self, he will be unable to do.
Just ensure that you are as happy as you can be with your decisions Kass, and stick to them.
