Oh, yeah, I meant to say that you were so right about this:

"His comments are the escalation that was sure to happen after the parking lot incident."

I think our relationship was a meeting of two people who wanted to be in control.

He is retaliating out of anger and a feeling of not being in control of what I do. I can understand that.

Just wish he hadn't modelled his plan of action on "The Taming of the Shrew".
