Cat, It's so hard to not act on our impulses. I fight them often, and sometimes I give in. And most of the time, I find that I wished I haden't.
I'm glad you never got that text out.
Remember (and I remind myself of this every day), our spouses need our homes to be a place of safety. And if they feel they're being attached, either overtly or subtly, they will want to hide under a rock.
In many ways, we have to treat them like kids. When kids get a lot of encouragement, they will try to excel. But when they are constantly criticed, they act out.
