I can't imagine being "confronted with my BS" or "pushed" for 50-60 years. Motivation should be intrinsic. I don't need nor do I want some other person dragging me through life as if I were a toddler being told to finish her peas or else there is no dessert. Some people seem to confuse a marital type relationship with a parental relationship.
