That was very sensible of you . . . to quietly let him go wherever he was going.

He acted happy and chose not to address anything. My guess is that he is just figuring that you'll cave to him.

Before going out there, you have a right to get this addressed. Otherwise, I suspect he'll take a nasty fit, if you wait till you are there and push the issue then. Still, that is one option.

It's just fine that you let him to all the talking tonight. You avoided arguing with him, which you must do. I say that because he's the type of guy you are not going to ever win a debate with. You have to decide some things, when they are important, and, then, just announce your decision - in a ladylike way, so he saves a bit of face - but without willingness to be deflected from what you intend. (He may be an immature man who needs a lady to be the grown up.) So you might want to call him tomorrow and gently tell him that you really have to do it as you explained and you hope that he understands . . . however, if he can't understand, then you really have to cancel the trip.

This is a huge test. (He tested you, now it's your turn.) If he won't go along with you, I'ld say you and your child would be in for one crummy life with this guy. Better to know that now. If he agrees, then you know he may be a dope, in some ways, but at least he is a dope you can lead in the right direction. That may give you something that you can work with.
