Wife having emotional affair part 4

[HPoirot]

That really s*cks that happened. It must have been very hard considering things were gong kinda well. Good that you know you put your foot in mouth. With her first "why did bro call you" question... What if you had said "you're probably right about that." I can see how it would bother you." In my house. I get invites to fight too. This is something I'm better at... Diffusing them by validating without agreeing. She'll be back to flirting with you soon enough. Maybe don't bring this up to her. Maybe validate her feeling if she does and move on. Good luck
