Had a rough go yesterday, woke up feeling off, backslid a bit, wife sensed it, she was irritated with me. The entire day turned into her trying to fight with me because I couldn't commit to taking our son to hockey every week. She was hard on me it was like the old days, but I did my best not to be dragged into it. When she was leaving for work I cornered her and asked her what the issue is today and she was angry and told me I was never going to change and I just listened then let her go. She got home about 11:30 and had calmed right down. We watched some TV then went to bed. I was getting ready to go this morning and she said something to me and I couldn't believe my ears I thought I misheard her so I said "pardon" and she said "I am sorry I was so hard on you yesterday" it blew me away. First time I have gotten an apology from her in 8 years. I simply said "it's OK thank you for the apology though". Such a small thing but so meaningful to me to hear an apology from someone who has never been capable of it. It shows shes thinking about her own behavior.
