Pull a fast one. It isn't really lying, it is a trick that is terribly annoying once it becomes habit, but terribly clever and good for one's sanity when applied properly. Nod and act as though you are listening, while going over something else in your brain. Don't expect any of your plans to meet approval! Just consider them a beginning, let him "fix them", nod your head and claim how brilliant he is and remark that you are so glad that he is there to teach you so well. Hopefully, the pill is less bitter that way. None of this includes a promise to follow through. None of this is actually saying that he is "better" than you, just that you appreciate and need him, and maybe that is all he really wants. *hugs*
