i haven't finished reading all the responses but yours here hit the jack-pot for me. my guy, too, likes to take over my project/ideas. macho ego for sure. and gets nose totally out of joint when i insist on my way. takes a while but he does get over it. and in fact, has a couple of times admitted that my way was the better way. not often...but often enough that i persist in my refusal of his way if mine is better suited to purpose at hand. ...hmmm..hope he doesn't figure out this angle and stop agreeing with my way!!!
