Long term lurker here with a question - I'm currently in a LTR and things have been going well. However, recently I was ill and it affected my state. I was less able to hold the frame and my girlfriend got mad at a few things I said and tried created an argument over it.

I felt I failed it because I started to defend myself through explaining to her that she had taken what I said in the wrong way. She kept going in circles and I told her for the final time I wasn't going to keep talking about it and that she needed to drop it. I told her goodnight and hung up.

Then I sent her a text changing the subject, talking about us looking good together and told her she's special to me. I fucking regretted it immediately after as I knew I put her on a pedestal.

We then continued to text, where she tried to throw more shit tests at me but I felt like I handled these a lot better with the agree and amplify techniques.

I am wondering if there is a way back from this? to recover.
