Hey Horse I agree with Rick. IMHO letting an I Love You slip while she was in a time of crisis isn't that big of a backslide. She already knows you love her, I think the DB principle is that when they hear us say it, it's implied we want to hear it back which stresses them out/makes them pull away. Don't sweat it and keep your chin up just try not to do it going forward. Good luck!
