Ugh indeed... Though I think you had an inkling this would happen when you posted last night that you didn't call or go over to S.'s. It seems to be a lot of the same issues: trust, going out all the time, fear to say what each of you is really thinking... You've been around these for a while.

Doesn't DR make a good point about not predicting a bad reaction/reception/conversation, etc. (Michelle's return from a business trip story)?
Anyways, I'm thinking doing something different might be a good idea to break that vicious cycle. However, I don't think I'd quite phrase it "...you must have felt weird..." - I'd say don't put words/feelings into his mouth. How about more along the lines "This morning's conversation felt a little short/abrupt. Did you feel that way? Is there something I did that upset you?"
Ellie, SD & others are better script writers - but I would try something different. Address it and move on. Otherwise you both will stew in it needlessly for hours, when in the grand scheme of things it's nothing. "You went out; He's jealous; No reason to be". It always seems silly to let little things fester into big ones.
