Afraid of change

[Queen_of_Swords]

Hank I am not a veteran but IMO this is blip. I imagine it feels like a critical error on your part. Been there myself.

W is still waiting for you pick her up that is a positive. You thought enough to ask her if she would like the time of the reservation changed, that is a positive.
Put on your best self tonight, happy, calm energy. If you must, apologise for the misunderstanding and express sympathy for her need to go to urgent care. Sometimes the most simple things turn emergent in 24 hours. You can say something to that effect to show your understanding.

Next time avoid this sort of thing:

So I call W back and flat out ask her if she wants to go tonight or not. She says yeah why? I say well you seem to not care if we do. She says that she just wanted to let me know that she wanted to get this done cause she has baby shower tomorrow and no would be better. I say that the baby shower is more important than tonight?

Instead of making an accusastion about how she might be feeling (mind reading) tell her how YOU feel. ie: I was looking forward to dinner with you. I enjoy your company.


Post mortems of mistakes are a beyotch but learn from this one dude.
