I'm not sure you did or said anything that warrants a 2x4. You showed your emotion from a VERY emotional event in your life. I understand how you feel about getting conflicting advice on this site sometimes....it's because it's a message board and nothing else.
You are correct, every situation is unique because every couple is unique. What works for one couple doesn't work for another. You are also correct that it's "easy" to give out advice to others.
Here's the bottom line for you. You did not want to lose your M. In so many words, you told her that today. She WILL spend some time thinking about this.
By the way, I think it was very mature and responsible of you to use the word "we" in your text. Good job.
As dday mentioned in an earlier post, he is curious to see what might happen a few months down the line.
