Pretty good weekend, but kinda screwed up last night!

OK, so the weekend was pretty good, went out with the W on Friday night and had a good time, laughed and had some nice conversation. Pulled off a pretty good 180 as well. I actually went out (not really me) and bought a few new nice shirts and wore one on Friday. When she came over she commented on how nice I looked and if the shirt was new and how she could not believe that I went out and shopped for myself. It was good and she mentioned it several times that evening.

On Sunday we went to church and then out to dinner and all was going well until we went over to her place so I could pick up the dog and bring her back with me. I had not been there in a few weeks and when I got there and looked around and saw a few new pieces of furniture. I asked about them (probably my first f’up) and she said she had got them from a friend of ours. This is a friend who has had some very bad hording issues (I mean so bad you could hardly walk into her house!) So, as I get ready to leave (on my terms, not hers) I walk to the front door on my way out of the house, I see another box type thing in the entry way and I ask what that is and she says it a piece of glass from the same friend and I say is it a mirror or just glass and she says glass then I say “wow, OK, well don’t become like..........(our friend)", kinda of in a joking sort of way but ….. Yep, I f’ed up, should have just kept my mouth shut and went home. So she flips me the bird and goes on to say that was a mean comment and I say that I was just joking but she is still mad and says she should have told me that it was “none of my business” what was in the box when I asked her – we exchange a few comments back and forth and she finally says to me that I should just leave! I again say that it was just a joke and I don’t understand why she is upset but I finally leave, unfortunately not on a good note.

So, now what, do I apologize to her? Do I just go on like it didn’t happen? Do I buy her flowers? Not sure what I should do here after this little f’up --- any ideas?? Other than that the weekend was great and we had a lot of fun, I just hope it didn’t screw up all that good work with a stupid comment.

Thanks for your input.
