I slept pretty well - given I hadn't slept in 2 days made that a little easy.

I'm very surprised that H has not contacted again since not getting a response.

I'm sitting on my hands. I so badly want to tell him - "I hear you"

He felt I never listened to him and it was a big complaint. I want to let him know he is heard.

I'm glad I sat on my hands because your first instinct is to defend yourself. I don't ever want to say anything that is defensive again. I'm done with that.

I'd like to apologize that he is upset about this --- I will apologize for his feelings but not for my actions.

"I hear you. I apologize how this situation is upsetting you."

Let's face it - I'm reading self help books on how to be a better wife/person... not how to do a D. He apparently does not get that.
