I hope VT trip was good. I read about S's email to you and thought-"ah! He is softening, and letting her know he IS excited about the trip." When I get ready to go on a trip, and feel like I have too much on my mind, even 30 seconds attention on something else can send me completely over the edge of reasonable behavior. HE was working on deadline at work that day too?
You have probably already worked through all this, but remember when you told me to "act as if" and ignore the outburst? My H ended up softening a tiny bit after that.
Side note- canyou tell me on my string how to add a shameless plug for my string at the end of my signature?
