Excellent. Someones tag on here is about diplomacy being the art of letting others get your way. Good work. I work on a reward points system similar to a Nectar card. I let her waste money on useless stuff or wear what she wants me to wear when we go out (and that sort of thing) then I use the points up by going down the pub, getting drunk and trying to pee in the cupboard in the middle of the night. That tends to put me in the red on the card only for me to repeat the process.
