Wow! I think being in a house where lightning started a fire might change my opinion on storms a bit! And the TV blowing up! That's a horror movie of its own!
You probably talked too much, but it sounds like it went well, in the end.
I can see how ML would be confusing, but if you feel better, it was probably ok. I think that there were a few good things you mentioned. He was thinking about you, and he even told you. And then HE said that you were married. I think that is good. I think this story is a long way from over! Hold your head up, take care of yourself, try to smile, and keep going!
