Just a thought, but don't walk him out to cab, if he asks you to and you can control the crying go for it, let him make the decision he wants and how he wants. Same thing on affection, let him make decision. I'm saying this, from the rest of your thread any try by you to lead has no results. The line have a safe and fun trip would be okay, probably. Not a good idea to ask him to let you know when he gets there, very hard yes, but this one got me in trouble early in my stich, and will more than likely backfire. Just leave it all up to him, and find yourself some free time activities to do. The more you can plan those early the less pain, you actually have something to look forward to then!!
