I wish he wasn't doing all these things, but he doesn't take my calls. A minute ago you said it was a price you'd happily pay.
Now you say you wish he wasn't doing it.
Which is it?
And if you wish he wasn't doing it, then why not speak out about it, instead of ridiculing those who do?
It's a price I'll happily pay if it's the only way I can get it. Obviously, I wish, hope and pray that the price could be less expensive. And maybe it will.
