I think this is fine and grand is a bit rich.

Side note, you should never truly be upset with your partner.

Enjoy :)

I wouldn't worry too much about bidding grand on this hand. You should only bid grand if you can count 13 tricks or believe chance of making are something 67+%.

As for the bidding. I think 2 is fine, but would bid 2 even though responder's hand would just qualify for a positive minor response by my lights (5+ to 2 top honors and 2 QTs). It is an absolute minimum positive and takes up a lot of bidding space. It's often right for the weaker hand to get out of the way of the stronger hand and let the big hand tell its story.

After

2 - 2

My response as North would be 3 with xxxx as that's the strain we'll play in. Note we are a full level lower in identifying the fit than if 3 was the first response.

It looks like the OP is missing here. Could someone please reinsert it or ask administrators to intervene?
