[Of course she would pick that subject. It wasn't unexpected, and the quick answer would be she had told him nothing would happen. That wouldn't be honest though, and he had made significant efforts to not withhold information.]
Much like your last boy, he feels the need to challenge me and try to pick fights with me. I find it off-putting, as I expect to be part of your life for as long as I live and that puts me in range of your relationships. I am, always, on your side, so if this is the adversity I am going to face, I worry how they will treat you in the long run.
[He sighed. That was at least his opinion overview. His hand stopped rubbing as he internally worked through his emotions to formulate his words.]
He can hate me all he likes, but I will not tolerate him trying to remove me from your life. Your happiness matters to me, but when your little squeezes try to weaponize that against me, I have no tolerance for that game either.
However, I can't stop you from engaging, but I will protect you.
