He just can't say no. It's like he has to be the good santa, giving everyone pats on the back, paying money in advance etc. When anything not pleasureable has to be done, It's somebody else's will that caused it (firing uncompetent worker - "It was not his idea, he was satisfied with the work etc, but his partner (me) caused it" and many other instances). Needless to say, this causes many trouble, up to the point I can not have confidence in him, have to control him etc. It leads up to the point when I'm unpleasant to him (sometimes unnecessarily) and later angry at myself that I did not control myself. I don't like awkward situations. But I learned that when I don't dela with them immediatelly (or try to avoid them completely), they will come back much worse...
