Everyone has moments where they slip up. I don’t think last night is a big deal. You did the right thing, getting back on track.

As for the text exchange, honestly I can see my husband and I having that exchange.

For me, this would mean I was slipping on one of my 180s, which is to not be so prickly or quick to be offended.

What are the 180s you are working on?
