So, Fraser? a pretty emotional guy. I can totally imagine Fraser thinking a lot of things that I wouldn't ever imagine any other male character thinking - he can pull it off, definitely. So Fraser might indeed think, in so many words, of Ray as "the man he wanted to spend the rest of his life with."
But the thing is? Other things go with Fraser's POV, like grammar. FRASER WOULD NOT END THAT SENTENCE IN A FREAKING PROPOSITION, OKAY? "The man WITH WHOM he wanted to spend the rest of his life." (Also? Not "the man with whom he wanted to spend the rest of his life with." Criminy.) Don't end sentences with a proposition if it's Fraser thinking! Just say no!
I bet he wouldn't split infinitives, either.
Yes, I know, I'm whackadoodle but I have actually hit the back button on fics that did this. They were usually deficient in other ways too, but it was the straw.
