"We will" seems to imply that he is arrogating to himself power over you to which he is not entitled. My gut (possibly over)reaction would have been to snatch it back.


I don't think I explained the vibe of what he said quite right. I wasn't annoying for "and the lady will have the fish" reasons. It was more like "We will go to the circus as soon as I do x,y and z" so it annoyed me because the implication is that I conveyed something like "Can we go to the circus Daddy? Please! When can we go to the circus?" like I'm some sort of dopamine ruled toddler. Of course, I basically am like a dopamine ruled toddler and apparently I am doing a lame job of disguising that fact. It was funny because the last time we got together we had an evening of fun activities planned but we just ended up having a lot of sex instead so he apologized to me for not providing me with enough fun.
