Update! I phoned to have the little talk and in the hour and a bit we've all been discussing this, he told her its been a long day and needs to see his friends ... to which she replied "as long as none of them are female" ... he told her to get lost. Decent blokes 1 - controlling folk 0 .. YAY! He said if she can try control him only weeks into their relationship, who knows what she will pull later on. Nice going.
