I ignored his reaction, I didn't acknowledge his feelings, I just let him calmed down and it worked. After he was calmed down, he came to see me and we talked. He even apologized for getting upset with something that didn't warrant that reaction.
Hugs Forever.
There are always going to be bumps in the road. But can I suggest this is a very positive event?
You handled it differently. You recognized what was happening, engaged differently so as not to make things worse. Didnt JADE. Didnt own his emotions.
Then he calmed down and got over it.
And THEN... . he came back and apologized! Wow!
All good stuff, and means you are headed in the right direction. And ok, it was 'only' two weeks. But its two good weeks between blowups this time... . then stretch it to 4... . then 3 months... . then 6... . you get the idea. Its not realistic to think there wont ever be a blowup because well, life is full of emotional events. But by each time getting longer and longer between, and by handling them differently when they happen, its all good stuff.
