Quote: If he can cite friends picking up on our tension as a reason not to introduce me to them, why the hell would I invite him to spend a second Christmas with my very special, loving, and wonderful family, whom I cherish, admire, and adore?
Well, is there a way you can express this idea to S? As you state it there, it seems only fair that you should "protect your family from the stress" as he does his friends. How can you word that to get it through to him in a non-threatening way?
