Yup, that was perfect

1. You stayed back and waited for her to initiate anything
2. You let her know you werne't tuning her out and that you were available.

She's under a lot of stress right now (not trying to ask you to sympathize, just realize her head's really messed up) and she likley will have a few meltdowns and tantrums. Just keep playing the mature guy who's caring for her son. She will have no choice but to eat it up.

I think you can see the effect being mature and loving has on a spouse rather than yelling or grovelling...she's breaking down instead of putting up a wall.

She may have had a fight with OM, who knows. Patience is your best weapon right now.
