and here I thought men had no feelings.
I'll state the obvious: apologize to her and then forgive yourself.
Be glad you can express your emotions in some way, although you could have done a better job of it.
Next time if you're hurt, say "I am hurt" don't say "I am angry" instead, and so forth. Say exactly what you feel, don't think about achieving an effect or self preservation, after all you're already hurt, how much worse could it get? Many people including the recipient of the news will identify somewhat. And by doing this you usually end up causing less pain for others and maybe reducing your own pain.
Good luck with the next one!
