11 year old upset because he heard my SO & I argue


I've been with my SO for 3 years and for the most part we get along good. My son adores him. HE and I both have been stressed out to work, household and preparing for his mother to stay with us after a major surgery in two weeks. Needless to say, fuses are shorter than usual and it lead to my SO and I arguing in the car. We have never argued in front of my son and I feel terrible it happened.My son just messaged me from home (I'm at work) to tell me he is worried that my SO and I are breaking up, which isn't happening. I feel incredibly guilty because I don't want him to worry about that and intend on making sure he does not hear any further arguing from us. I explained to him, the best I could, that sometimes adults have bad days and fight but it doesn't mean anything. Looking back, I know realize he was worried last night at bedtime, he said something about feeling like he doesn't fit in and then asked if my SO would be to tuck him in too.Other than talking with him and making sure that we do not argue/fight in front of him, is there any thing else I can do to reassure him? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Mb9dlm
