It's hard to say without knowing a bit more. Obviously, it is about something fairly important, or she would not be so distressed. But did she stand him up for a date? Or did she find someone new while he was in the military? Or was he acusing her of havin no faith in him? And was she distressed because he was right and she feels guilty?
