H didn't answer my email (I don't blame him). So this am I texted him to find out what time he is picking up kids tonight:
me: Good morning. Just wanted to confirm at what time u r picking the kids up. Please let me know when you have a chance. Thanks.
H: Hi. Thank you for the email.
me: thank u for reading it
H: It took me a while.
me: lol - you know I can be long-winded...
H: I am sorry if I hurt you
me: thanks for that.
H: My email was very defensive.
me: understandably.
H: You used the word "betrayed" in your email and I think that sums up a lot of what we both feel. That hurt is still there for us. I am trying to let it go.
me: I understand. And I know you are trying. I see that every day and I thank you for it.
Then H switched the subject to kids' pick-up logistics - we had a pleasant exchange and he asked how the potty training was going.
We went back and forth a bit, in our now usual friendly tone and finalized arrangements.
I hope I did better in this exchange...
