Help!
Rather thin-skinned, overly-sensitive woman allergic to conflict needs unvarnished advice from sensible HT folk.
So I have a new man-friend...
He has definite opinions about the landscape design of the lady garden that conflict with my own strongly-held preferences. How do I say, 'I'd really rather not,' without having to say, 'I'd really rather not,'?

If the direct approach isn't an option, you could use 'You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit'.
This wee rhyme helped when teaching my young children how to deal with disappointment.
If this fails, give him a time-out. Tell him he is only out of his time-out when he gets a back, crack, & sack done.
I wonder if he will consider your opinions about his garden design...
