I suppose we all have different phantasies about the path to nirvana..
Frequently, they boil down, in some way, to thinking the other person should shape up, fix it, or just be nicer about it.
Sometimes I think if Bob were more of a dictator, but had a more warm and smiling presence, we would be a lot "happier" here. I notice I"m much more frustrated by him for combining the social and health boards than I would have been if he hadn't asked for opinions, and I hadn't put the energy into trying to convince him not to. Maybe you should worry about getting what you wish for-- ie more consultation maybe worse than a benevolent dictatorship, despite our thinking that we prefer it.
