Our feelings, our resentments towards our wayward spouses will come out, it needs too. This sometimes is directed at other people; people undeserving of such feelings. Work those resentments out with yard work, a good walk or run, a puzzle, whatever - it allows time to let the feelings pass.
Your interactions with your daughter reminded me of something from my situation; a caution, or tale, depending on how one sees things.
Back at the beginning, when my children were receiving some attention from XW (such as it was), I had feelings of jealousy. I was jealous of my children talking to their Mom because I so wanted to speak with XW.
Feelings that go unrecognized, will go unreconciled and unaccepted.
Now, I’m 99% not jealous. There are some rare times when that feeling pops up. I do laugh at myself for such a thing, and it goes away. Feelings are real, and so fleeting.
We all have embarrassing moments. We all learn and grow.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
