Recreational companionship is his number one LL per the exercises we did. I get that. Though I can accommodate his needs somewhat, frankly I'm a little sick of boating and really don't have much interest anymore, especially in light of the work and expense involved. He has never been party to doing MY interests with me (floating, biking, gardening, etc.) If I suggest alternatives that he could do with me, he continues to pitch why boating is a much better activity and why my other suggestions are flawed. My best approach lately has been to do just a little boating with him (twice a year maybe) and then he's welcome to pursue more on his own while I pursue my interests alone. He complains that my pursuing my interests separately is wrong, because friend's W is coming boating and that's what couples do.
How do I approach this in a DB methodology? (And not be accused of trying to change him?)
