Can you reconcile this with anything anyone else is saying, about "giving him a chance," "extending him an opportunity," "let him try again," etc.? I believe that discussion was about going to dinner with him, which I wasn't doing because he would eat off my plate in spite of my request, but again the topic shouldn't matter.
To your conversation example...
H: What about this one? (huge, 58" fan) CV: It's too big. What do you think? do you think it may be too big? H: No, it's not.
Sorry, don't see a big difference there.
And you never did answer my question. What do you suggest I do when I DO care about something.
