DH seems to be trying to start an argument and I can't understand why. Last week he went in a huge strop because DS decided to walk to school instead of get the bus??!! Apparantly DS "HAD" to get used to using the bus, even though the school is within 25 minutes walking distance. I stuck up for DS, it caused an argument and he went even more crazy the day after when I agreed to drop DS off in car as I was passing the school at the right time anyway. FFS he's only been at that school for two weeks (just started secondary). Then last night DH made himself some cheese on toast. Usually he tries goading me into having supper and I usually always refuse. Last night though I was peckish, it did smell nice so I told him it smelt lovely. He asked if I wanted some making, I said yes please and thanked him. After he'd made me it he sat there watching me eating it saying "greedy guts - awww you're eating supper, what happened to your diet? greedy!" he's usually the one that insists I have supper and then whinges when I dont.
Anyway just now he's gone into a huge sulk. Why? because I was sat in the living room on my own, bored and so decided to put a silly comedy film on that I'd had recorded for days. He came in and said "oh for fucks sake, you're not watching that are you??" I said "yes! why?!" he said "because its fucking stupid, I'm not watching that". So I suggested he go and do something else then like I have to when he decides to watch something I find shit. So he shouted "you said you'd watch that when I'm not in!" I said "why should I?? you always watch what you want to watch!" so he said "you watch that and I'm going out". I said "fine, cya later".
So he put his coat and shoes on 
whilst looking at the TV saying "fucking idiots, what a fucking tosser, you seriously find this shit funny? what a fucking dick" he then went to the front door and shouted "I'd rather watch fucking ...... rubbish" 
So he's been a twat, yes? but why??? I'm stressed enough as it is, I start a new job tomorow in a highly emotional and stressful environment.

If he's just trying to start an argument, why?

He actually sat there and called you greedy guts as you ate when he is always trying to force you to eat? How long as he been waiting to say that one then?
He sounds like a controlling arse, and that is why he is starting arguments, because you aren't all dancing to his tune 24/7. Tell him to pack it in or pack his shit.
Oh, say something about how excited you are to be starting work 
... No, DON'T!! He might punish you by doing that wake-you-every-half-hour thing, trying to make you too tired to be confident & independent.
I really hope it all goes well for you!
