Good for you, Eddie!!
My WH (wonderful husband) hit the gate in our driveway while backing out. Friends who were visiting saw it. I didn't. They finally told me and moaned about what a horrible mood he would be in. For TWO hours, they acted as if the sun was going to disappear. I finally said, "He'll be a bit upset and embarrassed, but that'll be all." They assured me he'd be far worse. I said, "LOOK, it was just a car." When he came home, they actually BACKED away from him. He told me what had happened. He was a bit upset and embarrassed. I hugged him and we went on with our lives. They couldn't believe it.
I think your approach is wonderful. My WH has it and I'm attempting to learn it.
Thanks for the reminder.
