That was my relationship as well. He presented something as final. No logic. No practicality. It was just what he wanted. (Ex had a bmw too. He made sure it was manual, so i could not drive it. Very impractical in an area with tons of traffic. Not o mention, he had to purchase separate tires for the winter as the car could not drive in the snow... mmm and i leant him money for it. I was earning a lot less then him too. I was mad and complained but still allowed him to borrow money.)
When NG, asked me my opinion on something really big that did not concern me at all i was shocked. It felt really good.
I am being reminded now... how i did not want to take NGs advice on something he was actually right about. out of rebellion perhaps. I Thats not good. I need to learn to trust and be a partner more if I want things to work.
Sometimes its easy to copy what was done to you and do it to another person. Thats what i know now.
