Daisym,
Maybe he wasn't feeling sad because of what you said in anger and protest - he probably found that perfectly understandable - but more because he knows what he's asking you to do and it makes him sad. He knows the pain that's down the path he's insisting that you take. Ever try to hold your children still while they were getting painful shots? I'll bet your face would look like his. If I cared about a client the way he cares about you, I would feel very sad indeed. He must wish for the millionth time that there was an easier way. So don't feel like a heel. I really don't think that's where he was coming from.
