You might have stopped right here. That would have allowed her to respond and share her feelings with you.

By steamrolling ahead, you turned a conversation into a monologue. I do this too. It's hard to stop. You have to be comfortable NOT controlling the conversation. Awkward silences are ok.

You repeated yourself several times here. The "I could have done a better job" bit is golden though. Everything else is fluff.
