Well most of the time I can see where the discussion is going and I will just tell him to do what he wants. I want him to buy his harley , I fully believe that he has earned it ( 20 years military ). I just hate it when he asks what I like want etc...and then explains the myriad of reasons why we cant do those or whatever. He is the same way about the sex thing. I explain how I feel , he listens and claims he understands but then never does anything to make me feel better
