I can see two ways of looking at it:
1: You're getting taken for a ride.
2: Wonderful bloke with a lot of bats in the belfry, you might be able to get what you want from it down the road if you can ever get him to relax but it's far from certain.
conservatories and relatives are complicated. They happen anyway, it's just if you're with someone long enough they come up together. This will probably sound like right crap but if you can keep perspective and really above all, keep an open and honest dialogue (which is fucking hard) you can deal with conservatories, paint shades and even bedspreads without breaking out in a severe rash. Even jokes about kids have me plotting the route to the door, it's all about perspective. If anything the dealbreakers aren't stuff like conservatories it's stuff like joint bank accounts where you end up with any kind of dependance or interdependency, that's the shit you really need to avoid because then it's not on your own terms.
