W has been getting up at 4 am to go to work. She isn't a morning person and finds this a torture. Last Friday, she called me at work. During the course of the conversation, I said something that I vaguely recall, but which caused her great anger. She thought it was an insensitive remark and she was really upset when she got home. I thought I had engaged in a harmless conversation and instead it had turned out to be a huge deal. She says I questioned the necessity of her going to work at 4 am and wondered if it was really required. I don't know if I did. But even If I did, I wonder if she had to make it into a huge deal. Women just react to things so differently that it is very difficult to get it right everytime.
