Sounds like your partner needs a few more clinics. There's absolutely no reason the discussion should have lasted more than a minute.

You were smart in not jumping in there right away - that would've undermined his authority. The whole wrist-point was good, because you're communicating to your partner without interrupting the discussion. However, roughly how long did you wait before the wrist-point? Was it the 7 minutes you mentioned

If anything, my only contention with how you handled it would be that you had waited too long to remind your partner to move it along. However, your partner never should have put you in that position to remind him, "hey, we've got a time limit here." Your partner lost a lot of credibility after going past the first minute, thus forcing you to undermine him.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
