That's absolutely the truth...you can't control him....anymore than I can control my H. Then again, I don't want to control him either, and I know you don't either.
I'm also fully cognizant of the fact that he and I will probably hit another rut when I get tired of what I'm doing now. However, for now....I'm trying to get it through his thick noggin that if he'll meet me halfway....he won't be disappointed.
