Well, I don't have to worry about any "nice things" he might do tonight. The best I might hope for is that he "falls asleep" before the nastiness starts tonight. He has already started in on DD to a small degree, but of course the night is young. I think I need to give her the opportunity to experience peace before she leaves the nest.
As far as my friend? I'm sure that my relationship (although platonic) has influenced my thinking. It has lead me to see that there might be marvelous men in this world that are kind and considerate, and actually enjoy spending a few moments with me without becoming critical. That is why I am (kind of) glad that he won't be here this summer. It will give me a chance to make this move with a clearer conscious and perhaps give me something special to look forward to in the fall.
