He apologized on Monday for not letting me apologize to him. He said that he didn't want me to feel bad about it.

I know this whole comment is confusing. On the phone call Sunday he said my email minorly irritated him. I quickly made an excuse for me writing it then said "I'm sorry I irritated you". His reply was "you didn't irritate me", at which point I reminded him that he had just told me that it irritated him. He said something about people get irritated in relationships and I again apologized for irritating him. It was kind of amusing and disappointing at the same time.

And my email was probably mildly irritating. I was feeling stressed out when I composed and sent it. But anyway, we got all the apologies and irritations ironed out.
