The only backslide I see is that you are questioning yourself so much. She didn't mind getting her hair rubbed and anyone in their right mind would have offered to let her stay on the couch. Those things are fine....you lived the way you wanted.
The part I have a problem with is her getting furious because you didn't bail her out. Was it your problem or hers? Were you supposed to have the kids? She doesn't need to attack you and she also doesn't need to play nice to get you to go along.
