How have you trained your willing partner to give you what you want?

I wouldn't say I've trained my husband, it's more of a Pavlovian response. I can get away with a lot more (i.e. spend a lot more) if I'm wearing something sexy.

Yup it works every time...

can you think of other ways? Like for instance, how do you get him to go places with you and does he always go where you want to go, or are there times when you go where he wants to go, even if your bored stiff?

I'm afraid I don't have a good answer or suggestion. My husband and are both pretty fortunate in that we enjoy the same activities, tend to be on the same wavelength and we're open minded to each other's ideas and suggestions. We truly enjoy each other's company, even if it's a ride to the local dump. Usually we just ask if the other is interested in going here or there and the answer is a genuine "yes".

The exact same way I train my dog. That may sound demeaning but it's basically just positive reinforcement. When he does something I like, he gets a treat! When he does something I really like he gets an even better treat! The more he does what I want, the more treats he gets. It's very simple but effective.

I overheard my wife talking to her sister yesterday.

She said that I was "a work in progress".

I don't think she was joking.....

Boy. I'm not sure I would want to be married to you guys. And, for the record, my wife knows better than to get what she wants by wearing some filmy negligee that accentuates her firm, succulent...Um, what were you asking me honey? Yeah, sure, whatever you want.

I dont have a partner but I can tell you that Mom is WAY too good of a shot for Dad to even attempt to "train" her to do anything!
