I suppose, "Are you f'ing kidding me?" isn't a good validating response?
I understand, you felt you were doing what was in the best interests of us both?
I understand you feeling hurt by my opion?
I wish my thoughts didn't cause you to feel hurt?

It is tough to validate when you're just stunned. Wow!
