In almost 30 years of marriage I have managed to circumvent these each time.
Now this one seems to be a more difficult one.
How do I keep going with the flow?
It is not life and death but I have made quite the habit of agreeing, more of my middle child personality but now I want him to keep a job to help me.
Selfish? Opinions?

Marriage is never just 50-50. There are times when one partner may need to be more selfish than the other. If you each practice giving and taking you should each get "your turn" to have things your way over time. If it's your turn just stand your ground and hammer out an agreement.
Do you feel like you are being selfish by asking this of your husband?
I like your little quote at the bottom!
No, I think I have always been the anchor and he has always been the one to move on. I am currently upgrading my degree and he wants to change jobs. He doesn't see any income drop but he will no longer have the contract guarantees.
I still work full time also, I just really need to concentrate on the task at hand.
So I have put my foot down. Yikes

It's very manipulative, so just refuse to participate Keep right on chatting him up just as though he's part of the conversation. Just don't ask any questions, lol.

Honestly, when you refuse to be manipulated people quickly tire of trying
Enjoy the popcorn balls!
