That was my first reaction.

I think in my first message back, I kind of,

Said sorry, but I also then gave reasons to why it had happened and was quite defensive.

And then Bridge wrote back a nice message.

And I remember thinking, no, this is 100% a mistake that I've made.

I admitted the mistake completely and listed why it would be frustrating for Bridge.

And she sent back a lovely smiley face.

And then she said, in fact, I'm going to read it now because it is the perfect example of, if you don't mind, Bridge.

Yeah, go for it.

Okay.

So I wrote, I can't even begin to imagine how frustrating this is.

I'm so sorry.

This is obviously my mistake.

Thank you for signing off with a smiley face.

I'm sure it wasn't the face you made when you got my reply.

And she wrote, haha, you always make me smile because I know you actually care and I didn't want to send your rejection sensitivity into overdrive.

In admitting the mistake, it gave you the opportunity to say, I thought about your ADHD in this whole thing and I was thinking of you in the whole.

So it was like a very, it was good.

I would say it was, maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like it was good for our relationship that.

Yeah.
