I'm very thankful for my wife. I think it is a very rare thing to find someone who you can have argument with and come out of it a better person than you went in. Even when she's upset with something I've done, she's always reasonably calm and is damned good at pointing out stupid things I've done without making me feel like too much of a douche

I don’t know about always being reasonably calm. As you quite correctly pointed out, text is NOT our medium to have any kind of serious discussion and I freely admit I’m probably the worst of the two of us on that score. You are never a douche, thankfully, even though you might feel like one at times (I know I do), you can just lack the finer points of common sense on occasion. I challenge you to find any human being who isn’t guilty of that at times.

This is going to sound absolutely bizarre, but of everyone I’ve ever been romantically involved with, you are my very favorite to have an argument with (although thankfully we very rarely have anything even vaguely resembling a real argument). You don’t fight dirty, you don’t yell, you don’t close down, you don’t run away, and you don’t let me get away with unintentionally steamrolling your counterpoints for very long before you call me on it. ;-) You also know that a genuine apology is not a weakness, and can admit fault when it’s merited. Above all, no matter how we argue, I still feel loved and am not afraid of you leaving me over a heated word or two, which was never the case in any of my past relationships.

For my part, I’m sorry for my overreaction, it just took me completely by surprise. Can I claim pregnancy hormones? I haven’t really gotten any mileage out of that excuse while I’ve been pregnant so far.

I love you, my Jonno. Being with you, even when we hit speed bumps, is by far the smartest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life. I can’t wait to hold the little person that is part of both of us.
