I think that it's great that you gave this example, and that you have the awareness of a place where you may have stumbled in your efforts. It's so easy to often not have a clue of some of our "more of the same" behaviors that we get stuck in, so you did a good job with this!
Now, let me ask you what you would "typically" do after a situation such as this. Would you talk to him about this at all, or just let it go? What have you done in the past, and what were the results? What have you been able to do that have made the results more positive?
Not to hijack, either! However, I think that these could be some good things for everyone to be aware of. How what we unwittingly do can effect others, how their perceptions of our actions might be different than our actual intentions, and how we might be able to make some positive changes in the future.
