"So all in all I’m considering this a sorta success. At the very least it’s documentation of what NOT to do."
I wouldn't. What Train explained was very much true about you and your reaction was par for the course.
I've mentioned before that I think you are one of those people who NEED a C to show you what to do and monitor your progress instead of just reading it from a book. You mentioned that you were looking at getting help for that several weeks ago and you haven't done any movement.
If anger was the biggest issue your H had with you, shouldn't that be your priority? Apologizing after doesn't stop you from doing it again. You apologize enough and after awhile they become empty words.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
