Default How does IM work for an opposite thinker?

Thanks for starting this thread. I have been using the processes in Ask and It Is Given for a little over a month now and I am beginning to manifest things much quicker than before. My husband is wanting me to introduce him to the theory, but we have a problem. He's an opposite thinker. For those who may be unfamiliar, an opposite thinker is someone who, if you put three coins on a table and ask them to describe how those coins are similar, will begin telling you how those coins are in no way similar. (I think we may have had some opposite thinkers in this forum. )

I frequently have to work around this pattern with him as in, instead of asking, "Honey, would you have time to clear the table for me tonight, I'm really busy." I'll ask, "Honey, you wouldn't have time to clear the table for me tonight would you?"

I know it seems subtle and when I first learned about it I was astounded, but one approach gets me a "No" answer and the other a "Yes, of course, Dear."

He is worried about this. I think it's why he frequently gets the opposite of what he wants anyway. After all, the LoA IS constantly working, whether we know it, like it, believe in it, or not.

I plan to purchase "Before You Think Another Thought," thanks for linking to that. Does anyone have any suggestions in the meantime?
