As long as you're handing out money, he has no incentive to do these things on his own. He knows he can get money out of you.
Trust me, I know how hard it is to say no, but until you do, and
stand firm in your resolve, nothing will change.
If you tell him no 5 times in a row, but cave in on the 6th time, your boundaries are null and void. He plays you like a fiddle.
He's heard your suggestions.
He doesn't care to pursue them. No need to keep repeating them to him.
