But I also think that he didn't want to deal with her possible grief and by extension his own mixed feelings over what was happening.

Yeah, makes sense. <3

I also think that maybe he wanted to be in control of the moment as much as possible.

Now this would be 100% in character!

Reminds me of SD's "I think you only told me that you want Fritz dead to see what I will say/do" letter.

Wait, remind me?

Second quote here: „You can be assured that I will not say anything and will not tell him that you wrote to me; if he knew that you hate him and wish him death, he would be in despair and it would kill him. He is already too ill. God take the thoughts you have against him, and you govern your heart. I believe you wrote to me against him out of malice, to see what I will answer you."
