Very true. But he is most convincing and I cave to avoid a tantrum from him and his rage.

Days before our wedding, he wanted me to buy him a $300 pair of pants for our wedding day. It would have had to go on my credit card. I asked simply and gently IF I could spend only $150 on the pants and not buy such an expensive pair of pants. He EXPLODED on me in anger and had a tantrum because I had said no and offered an alternative he did not like. That happened literally two days before our wedding, and we fought badly as a result, all because he went into a rage over pants. That made me think this was a HUGE mistake.
