Hi glam- It is a good thing that you were forced to cool off before you spoke to your H. And it is an even better thing that you recognize that you should do the same thing when you are frustrated and angry in the future. Just take a step back and give it a little time. Use this as an opportunity to show him that you have changed and that you won't react.
I was upset with my H this morning. I asked him if we could could make it a goal to communicate in some way everyday and he didn't feel comfortable agreeing to it. I didn't react when he said that but I was not happy. I later did a couple of miles on the treadmill and felt soooo much better. I just hope it lasts.
