[quote=Anonymous]My DH is just like yours- perfectionist, rarely makes mistakes, expects everyone else to meet his standards. It’s so annoying. What I’ve found works is to handle it the same way I would at work. It’s not ideal for a relationship but it seems to work for me. At work, I wouldn’t just say “hey boss, I need XYZ, give it to me”. Instead I do a ton of leg work- figure out what you can get for your van, research sedans you’d like, go test drive them, find the best deals, figure out how to budget it into your monthly finances, etc. Go to your DH with all the paperwork and ideally 4-6 cars you can go buy that day. Lay it all out, say you need a car, you found these ones that work and you can go get one this weekend. Show all the perks you can- maybe leave out fewer accidents, but show how much you’ll save on gas, monthly car payments, safety ratings, etc. Make it easy for him to say yes. [/quote]
