You of course are in the best position to know these things and your "view of the world" has always demonstrated what a fair-minded person you are.
I did mean to comment on the little influence issue (thanks for the reminder Coly). I call BS on that. Mine likes to tell me how he never thinks about me.
I had a friend and partner who always said that when people say it isn't about the money, it's always about the money.
When they constantly have to tell us they don't love us or care about us or think about us or want us to have influence, it is exactly the opposite.
I would ignore every single one of those comments, as well as the migrating percentage by which he feels x or you feel y. That oven is still heating away and he isn't yet a nice golden brown.
