I saw someone on five separate occassions,

I can see that somewhat. Did you feel like you were going to see this someone? Because my impression was more that you were going to see your brother's band and someone sought you out. I get wound up about this because I'm projecting a bit. I just want to tell him, "Dude, it's right there in front of you, GRAB IT before it's too late! If you'll give a freaking inch you'll get back a mile."


Maybe I need to listen to what he is telling me and believe that he wants only for me to acknowledge his feelings, not that he is trying to control everything I do?

Sounds like something that's certainly worth a try!

And I agree that he's not trying to control everything you do. There's still just some edge about this bar thing that makes it seem like he's doing you a favor by limiting his demands to this one thing. Like he doesn't want control over everything so he should be allowed to control the things he wants. I dunno.


We had a nice discussion about the 'silly argument' we had and I ended up going with them and spending the day.

Good!


Your words mean more than you can know.

Thanks; I can use all the validation I can get this morning.
