    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Personally, I think you should make HIM drive. Did he not have a big p1ss up the other night? It's your turn to relax, and be treated how you deserve to be treated.

    If you let these men have their own way all the time, they will keep on taking, taking, taking. There are decent men out there, who will put you first before themselves. Unfortunately, there are also alot of !!!! bags, who are selfish, and take, take, take.

    Grrrrr :mad::o

    You are probably right unfortunately.

    BUT, in his head, it might go:

    'I am making an effort, I am doing what she wants and taking her out, but it wasn't enough, so I give up'.

    If it keeps them together with the current status quo, then his eyes it's enough. Her being happy is entirely a different ball-game.
