Advice for the future: When you're writing an email while angry, save it in draft form. Go ahead and write it as angry as you want in the first draft, just don't send! Read later, at least a couple of hours, next day if possible. More often than not, you'll have calmed down and be able to take the edge off and send a professional correspondence. Obviously too late for that in this situation but it can help you in the future.
I won't offer any advice on mental health, as I'm not equipped to do so. I will say I've had similar disputes with co-workers in a few different offices. Of course, we always feel like we're being wronged and our co-workers are the problem, but after having issues like this in several different settings I had to acknowledge that I was at least PART of the problem. It's something I've only learned over time, but now over halfway through my career, I've learned how to handle conflict properly and not let it get personal. Try and see things from others perspectives and realize that not all conflicts can be solved. Learn which conflicts are worth engaging in and which ones are better off ignoring.
Good luck!

Reply to TIFU by telling my show-off friend how much my partner makes and I feel awful now by Davetherocker
Really depends on how your partner feels about money to know how big a TIFU this is. Some people would rather discuss the personal details of their sex life than discuss their personal finances. I'd not mention it unless it comes up. You're not lying if she doesn't ask!

How long ago did this happen? How old are both of you? If it's a really close friendship - just give him time to cool off and apologize again. If he can't forgive you for words, then he was never that good a friend. Close friendships are built on lifetimes of overstepping! There's an old saying that goes, "familiarity breeds contempt." I don't think it goes that far, but we tend to pick on the people we know best the worst. Just the way it goes wrong or right. I think he'll get over it and you'll be fine.

Old people like smut too. She'll probably love it and I don't think you have anything to worry about.
