The SEE interaction is interesting.

Can you elaborate on "he doesn't respect her for that"?
How do you know? What cues did he give, or what about his personality implies that he finds this unappealing? What kind of a judgment was it?
... what motivated him to give her a rude gesture ?
I figured out a little later that he wanted to get rid of her. That apparently was one way to encourage her leaving... (He also wanted someone else to leave. They did. Not sure if he had anything to do with it or how, but now I'm venturing way into speculation so I'll stop.)

A different time she was talking about her interest in one of her coworkers, he asked "What about [the other guy she's more-or-less dating]?" She said, "Well, he's [far away]... " He made a face, then after she skipped off he said, "Well, it's not really how I'd do it, but... *shrug*"

Personally, I feel it wrong of him to judge her since he seems to have been involved in his share of uncommitted relationships, but whatever. Obviously that wasn't a very severe judgment from him, though, and he's even invited her on our trip. But he did use it as a weapon...

There seems an incompleteness of something.
No, I meant reconsider how to approach the problem that upset him. Not reconsider the reaction.
