I sometimes get infuriated for no reason like that when I'm PMSing. But I don't think I would let it go on as long as she did. Usually my SO just looks at me with puppy dog eyes and says "why you being so mean!!" and I laugh and apologize.

Something that always takes my anger away is if he holds me. So even when I am acting pissy, or saying something mean out of hormonal frustration, he won't even respond. He'll just walk up and wrap me in his arms and all my anger just melts away.

Maybe you could try that next time before things get out of hand. I don't know that you could have done that in this particular situation, since when you asked for a hug later she rebuffed you. Next time, don't ask, just do it. She may not be able to resist if you already have her in your arms. It's easy to stay prickly when you're not touching. (for me anyway)

Edit: I just saw your sneaky reply while I was posting. Guess the holding thing works for you guys, too! Glad to see you're all made up now.
