Looking for a Toe

[Juulie Downs]

If your partner is staying that far out from the action, it makes it rough for you. He wasn't where he needed to be. If the action was, as you say, around the perimeter, there may not have been much going on in your primary. I can easily imagine that you'd see the play clearly, and then you do have an obligation to get it right. However, I'd had talked to the partner about changing it himself, rather than just overriding him at the table.
