A few nights ago he was trying to relax and kept getting phone calls as they were arguing. He said he wanted to have a relaxing night tonight and I said something that came out wrong I meant to say i hope he gets to have one and that the kids are not arguing but it came across as tho i thought they were bugging him he got a bit pissed off with me and I'm a lil worried now as i know how much they mean to him and would never make a hurtful comment against them I called back later and apologised but he still sounded very quiet about itShould i again talk to him about it as i want him to know i support him with the kids but am not sure what to do now Reply to this Question

 Yeah, I think you should. Say something like, "You know, the other night I was trying to wish you a relaxed night and it came out all wrong. I really want to support your time with your children. I know it's important. I'm sorry for the way it sounded; I really didn't mean it that way." Then let him talk, and listen to what he says.

 Yeah I think it couldn't hurt to explain yourself. Just say you can't stop kicking yourself for the way whatever it is you said came out because that wasn't how you intended it to sound at all and see what happens there. I think he'll forgive you if he knows what you were trying to say.
