JinBklyn, I do sense in the interaction (by the way, without making excuses for him acting like a rigid jerk! ) a few things:
* Tip of the iceberg related to the sniping all week. * Something about that table....represents for him an unresolved tension with you--whether or not it's fair, his perception of an unreasonable demand somewhere?
He's communicating around the edges. The question is how to defuse the tension and then how to address whatever it is more directly. A bigger question is, do you want this relationship and why and what kind and how do you get there....?
Okay, so take your day and fume and spew, but try to get centered before the ride....those rides can be very long as you know.
