Query:
Well, what do you guys think? Is it possible that I've actually managed to convert him?
----------------------

IMH(ButAbsent)O, I think he boosted his own ego when he aggressively confessed to the things he resented. And since sex and aggression are linked for him, he followed up with hot sex. But not before going into his, "I'm finding me a crack-ho" routine.

I think he only finds his cashews (ego boost) when he does something that he admires in himself, although he's convinced that only you can do it for him. Whenever he tells you off, threatens to leave, and/or delivers an ultimatum he reponds by pursuing you sexually. When he "confronted" you with his resentments he got an ego-boost. He then threatened to leave you, boosting his own ego even more and "bingo", went for your cookies. This appears to be his "Now I'm a MAN!" response.

BTW, instead of claiming to be cheaper than a crack-ho why didn't you ask for the $46? In my book, you've earned it by having to put up with this stuff.
