I myself am with a lady who has to do everything important for herself for virtually over ten years.

Now in the spirit of compromise she simply says " so what do you think dear ? what is your opinion ! "

So I venture my opinion . . .

She respectfully listens; then says " thank you for those thoughts , now just do it my way ! ! ! "

Simply put after so long she feels it is easier to trust her own judgement and risk being wrong rather than become passive and give over the decision making control to another, often her thoughts are about not the best outcome but the outcome with the least risks she might have to try and fix later ! ! !
