Sorry if this is a bit long. Basically, my DH has a habit of huffing and puffing, eye rolling, tutting etc. whenever he perceives that I have 'done something wrong' and it is really, really winding me up.
So for example, just now his running gear was in the washing machine (where I put it - not washed, but ready to go on when there's a full load), rather than on the floor where he left it last night, so he couldn't find it. Cue lots of huffing and puffing. Other recent examples that have caused this reaction include me leaving lights on in rooms I'm not currently in and forgetting to lock the back door. I appreciate that I am by no means perfect and I probably wind him up in equal measure, but I wouldn't mind if he actually said something to me, it's the passive aggressive contempt that I can't stand. I don't know whether I'm overthinking this because I once read that contempt is the death of a marriage and this is making me sensitive to it. On the other hand it makes my blood boil and I'm struggling to keep my mouth shut.
So, my question is would I be unreasonable to say something to him about this. If not U, what do I say that won't cause an argument? Or do I just try to be less of a pain in the arse?!
