-this is the first I've heard about this side of him.
He kept it well hidden. He's very good at controlling his environment and smoothing things over if things go wrong. He reads people very well and could head things off when he noticed I wasn't happy and always has the right words but I knew that side of him was there. He would tell me he loved me when he knew he'd annoyed me and it seemed contrived to me. Sort of appeasing me. All I had to do was thwart him. In this case refused to go and get wasted with him and have the audacity to ask for help with the tent. Say no and watch them go lol.
The people backing me up was heart warming. I'd have been scared if we were by ourselves.
