Thanks. I'll wait and see if she brings it up later this evening.
I sympathized, but didn't really validate -- same thing, maybe? I was/am very upset that she would think that about me. One thing I've noticed over the years is that she always respected my confidence. For this, I was not prepared to let it slide. It was hurtful and unfair, and she really needed to hear that. This is kind of a 180. I've been somewhat walking on eggshells around her and her feelings (and taking a lot of her darts over the past few years without too much response on my part) and I needed to show her a little of the old fire/self confidence.
I did raise my voice in the initial call, but was calm when she called back, stressing how much this had hurt me. Another thing that I did wrong in our R was always trying to be the strong one and not showing her when I hurt. This hurt and I let her know.
