Ro, that is actually huge that you were able to laugh it off about the ice cream and focus on the good intentions. Can't speak for your H but I know in my life, I've felt beaten down at times because of how it appeared that my W would focus only on my negatives and disregard any positives until my negatives improved.
Ces, I worked on this with my IC, but didn't really get it until after BD. I've been trying to focus on the positives (thanks, LaBug & Ad!), and I just feel so much better.
