I know from reading here that it's not my role to create consequences for him. I also don't want to give in to everything he wants, though, at the expense of my needs or what would be fair. For as long as I've known him he has a hard time compromising, and it's been magnified during this process. I said before I would just give in to him because I was scared he would get angry or violent... I don't want to just give in to him when something is important to me. *sigh*. I don't know exactly where I would put this clock so I'll think about offering to bring it back to him if I can't find a place or a good way to hang it. To be honest my sister isn't much of a gift giver.. I'm trying to think of any type of gift she has given to me in the past, and the only things I can recall are wedding/shower gifts (including this one). She did put thought into it, she specifically went through what we hadn't been gifted already and picked something that I said I was most excited about. So maybe it's not so much about where it came from but the fact that it was something important to me, that I really wanted, and now I feel like H is trying to "take it away" from me for no real reason other than there'll be an empty spot on the wall. I actually like it for what it is, he just wants something to hang there. Grr. It's hard to do these business-type transactions when there are so many emotions floating about, especially the "we wouldn't have to be doing this if you'd just work with me" story.
