<human>: This morning when mu husband picked me up from work, he mentioned he and some of the other guys might not get to a task in my area that hadn't been done in three weeks already. It's kind of a big deal, and I can't do it, it takes several strong, burly men. 

Because I know his cousin is leaving the proceeding week on vacation, I commented (it was my intention to be offhanded) that it might be another three weeks before it would get done, then. I realize in retrospect the comment seems bitchy. But, they normally get back from vacation two weeks after they leave. I know they don't like doing this particular task one man down, so I had just assumed and spoke without thinking.

My husband immediately tells me I'm being vicious, that he wasn't even sure. I'm reminding him of my sister and mother the way I speak (he doesn't like either of them, so the comparison ain't favorable) and this was how my family got to be so xenophobic. 

I feel really down. I apologized immediately, knowing I had spoken without thinking, and kept apologizing, and he kept berating me until it had upset me enough that I got teary. I didn't cry, though, because I know he feels like its emotional manipulation. I know I did badly, so I should feel badly. However, seeing I was upset, he reached over and held my hand to calm me down, so I don't understand. I know he's going to be angry at me because I was so upset, and he's going to tell me I was trying to manipulate him. I wasn't, really, I just get confused sometimes. I don't know what to say or do. 

Please help me.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Got into a confusing argument with my husband, it seems to be a thematical thing, I'd like to know what to do better in the future, so I would like advice please.
