Just need some perspective really.
Our toddler isn't sleeping very well, children rarely sleep in past 6am anyway and it's been a tough week at work for both of us and we're tired.
But ... I'm usually upbeat and happy but I'm really struggling with it at the moment.
He works full-time and long hours, I work part-time but do all the house stuff etc - and its pretty full on as children are pre-school age.
We just seem to bicker all the time.
I am polite, thoughtful and try to teach this to my children - yet I feel I have an overgrown child I'm educating at the same time! A little thanks goes a long way with me and he should know this after over 10 years together.
This morning he's really brought me down. We didn't really speak as I could tell he was in a bad mood after not sleeping well again but I was civil and made small talk.
I didn't get a response.
I then mentioned (as I do every month) that its 11 months to the date since my Dad passed away - to which he responded with "Is it? Next month will be tough. So are you getting a shower now or what, it's 6.30am and I'm going to be late"
I didn't speak to him after that and I don't think he really noticed/or it bothered him.
Seriously - I have friends/family who would have reacted in such a different way - they'd have started a fight with their other half, told him exactly what they thought, chucked stuff and cried.
I just feel numb. And I'm scared it's because I don't really care enough to fight anymore.
Am I oversensitive? Is he a grumpy thoughtless git? Is it a bigger issue or are we just in need of sleep?

AIBU?
Is it me or him? Little things potentially snowballing into a big issue
