You aren't going to like what I'm going to say, but if his intent is to see the OP in Dallas, there is nothing you can do. Does it suck? BIG TIME!!!!
I know what it feels like being sick to your stomach. I get that way when I see my H phone number come up on caller ID. Then I flip the emotion to feeling sad for the entire situation because I know this doesn't have to happen. But like you, I have NO control and I have to let it be. He thinks he knows what he's doing and he doesn't.
He will see that the grass isn't so green. Just let him work thru his MLC. You are in for a bumpy ride but we are all here for you.
Sending you hugs and a better tommorrow.
