Piecing is almost harder than before...

actually, I think that is pretty good, man.

I really do.

AND you answered EXACTLY right.

She let you feel her anger to you and how you made her feel. You validated her feelings AND let her know that you will never do that again. You never intended to do it and now you see how she feels.

Dude, the crying is HER getting over that pain. My W did EXACTLY the same thing. EXACTLY TO A TEEE just a few days back.

This is good for her and in turn, good for you.

ALSO - the next convo about her being sorry for bringing it up. Score again for XYZ. You now WANT her to express her emotions - something that she has suppressed for some time. You once again, validated her feelings BUT told her to please DO express them. This is the new relationship and that she should feel comfortable telling you these things.

DEAD ON dude. DEAD ON!

I know you may feel down, but I assure you this is the right path. I'm literally right there neck and neck with you, man.

stay strong...OOP...I mean, stay patient
