I think I may have accidentally undone some of my progress. During all of this turmoil, I had the den painted, which was arranged before the D bomb.

The shelves needed a 2nd coat and the painters told me it wouldn't smell as bad as the primer. I know that H is sensitive to the smell and left the house the last time it was done.

Well, he came home tonight and had a fit and left. I tried to apologize. I stayed calm and didn't raise my voice despite his doing so.

When he left, I again told him that I was sorry that the smell affected him and then he said I can't believe you did this.

So, I know I messed up. I should have asked him if it was ok to get the paint done today or if I should wait. They still have to do another coat so I know what to do the next time.

I guess I am a little hyper-sensitive and worrying right now. I hope he comes home in a better frame of mind in the morning. I will not call him or text him tonight. I just don't want this to cause a backward slide.
