Stacey, I get that boost takes like crap. I agree, but they are a necessary evil if he can't manage anything else. I am also exceedingly stubborn - sign Taurus born in the year of the ox. You don't get any more stubborn than me, but I wanted to live, and that's what it came down to - get busy living or get busy dying.

Tell him to stop being an ass and if he needs an ego boost, that he has to live for you if not himself.
