Sorry to hear about this recent exchange. Don’t beat yourself up though because we’ve all done things we wish we did differently with the benefit of hindsight. I think it important though that you don’t mention it to her at all again. Act as if it didn’t happen and certainly don’t apologise.
Next time you see her be the very best levelled up version of you you can be. Find a good mantra to repeat before any interaction as these calm things as well as breathing exercises.
If she asks about girlfriends just say I’m focusing on myself and the kids. If she asks why you’re happy just say I’m making the best of things. Short vague answers. Read every quote from ready2changes quotes thread then read again. Find robx and read his posts as well.
Good luck buddy keep posting
