To not want this person in my home?

Dp has recently reconnected with an old friend. They drifted apart around 8 years ago, but bumped into each other a while back. He asked me tonight when would be best for him to come round. I know that doesn't seem like it would be a problem, but I never liked this person and I simply don't want him in my home. I have no problem with dp meeting up with him, but I would rather not have him here, or have to see him myself.

The reasons behind my feelings are that this person was a complete dick towards dp. He put him down all the time, mocked him, ridiculed him in front of others, and seemed to use him to make himself look better. Dp put up with this behaviour, and it crippled his self esteem. I didn't like him at all, but dp had known him for years and I didn't stand in the way of the 'friendship.

I really don't want anything to do with this person, but I absolutely accept that dp has the right to be friends with whoever he wants. I just get this horrible feeling when I imagine seeing him or worse having him come into my home. AIBU? Dp was surprised and a bit upset when I asked him to meet up elsewhere.

Good idea, that way you can all leave without a scene whereas potentially asking somebody to leave your house if it happens again is awkward.

You sound great Storm being protective of him around somebody with a history of being mean.
