I think I'm going to briefly tell her that I don't like how I reacted, and wish I'd just been supportive, that I love her and believe she deserves all the happiness in the world, and that I am confident she can make the best decisions for herself.
That sounds good to me.

If you were in this position, would you think it healthy to name the vulnerable feelings that got kicked up? Or would you just apologize and say " My behavior was about me and my unhealthy issues/anxieties, not about you." and leave it at that? We are so close that I lean toward being more self disclosing, but I'm uncertain.
I would first leave it at that, but be attentive to her reaction. If she shows unusual concern/interest, consider saying say more. If not, not.
Thanks for this!
