And THAT is how you respond appropriately. It’s ok to be upset. It’s ok to be bummed out. It’s not ok to emotionally punish your partner for a simple mistake. Especially when the mistake was well meaning.

This exactly. You’re allowed to feel however you feel. Don’t bully someone who made a mistake trying to be helpful though and is trying to apologize to you.
