Problem
Read this letter to Dr. Dee, and then describe what may be happening in Hadenough's relationship in terms of the chapter concepts of operant conditioning.
Dear Dr. Dee,
My partner has a terrible tendency to boss me around. I have tried to counter this tendency by being especially nice to him, to show him how I would like to be treated, but the problem seems to be getting worse. He also refuses to discuss it or see a counselor. He says I'm too sensitive and that I'm looking for problems where none exist. What should I do?
