In about 80% of cases on here (maybe even more), it's the LBS who finally decides the fate of the M.
I've never looked at it that way, but I guess you are right. I am the WAS in my fam and my H always says everything is up to me. I don't think he even sees that his actions will have a direct effect on my thoughts/decisions.
Well that's what I take from your words.
