I agree with Jefe, very good on the validation. You are getting very good at diffusing your wife.

But--My goodness your wife appears accident prone!

Here is what we have learned so far about your wife:

(1) She ignites easily.
(2) She dislikes it when you contact her.

Her texts reveal she considers unsolicited texts an intrusion into her life:

Me: We're you able to get D7's glasses?
W: I'm trying to rest before I go get the girls then get the glasses. I've run errands all morning.

Translation: You are bothering me. I’m tired. Back off.

Then she did it again:

M: Oh wow, that's prob been rough on you.
W: I'm fine. But gonna grab a nap.

Translation: Go away.

But when she contacted you first she wasn’t prickly. I'm not sure if she disliked you contacting her or if she disliked your asking about the glasses and was defending her "right to rest." Either way--she got defensive and wanted you gone.

So take note: Do not initiate any further conversations unless it is relay information.

I've never regretted saying "I'm sorry"
