Ok, things are all better now. Luckily, she is a brilliant woman (all of my women friends are brilliant, and MOST of my men friends, too), and caring, and we were able to work it out. She sees my point of view, and is going to work on phrasing things in a way that I can respond to positively, and I have shown her that I do see her point of view, and that I will work harder not to take actions such as that too personally.
All in all, even with a wasted work day, a screwed up eating schedule, and mega emotional stress, it was a really good experience. We're closer now as a result, and we're starting to negotiate the thorny path of telling each other the truth more often in order to facilitate a better relationship.
But now I'm home, tired, and with an aching head. I'm going to lie down for a short while before I work out.
Thanks to everyone who said stuff, you all helped a lot.
