Trying to keep this short(ish) so will skip the preamble...
I am on the phone to my sister (overseas) in the front room, dh is cooking. I hear an 'ow' & he calls for a plaster. I stay on the phone but go and get the plaster & antiseptic cream, go into the kitchen, still with my sister on the line but not actually talking to her- he has cut into the nail and skin below- not deep enough to bleed much and is not bleeding when he takes tissue away. I apply plaster, to lots of ow & sucked breath. I ask if he needs me to help with the cooking, he gives me a sarcastic "no, you carry on". He's obviously not happy so I go into the other room end the call straightaway & go back in. Repeat offer of help, sarcastic reply, a bit of back & forth followed by me being blasted for being rude for having come into the kitchen with the phone, for not having hung up straightaway and for not stepping in and taking over without him having to say yes to my asking if he needed help.
AIBU for not putting the phone done when I went in the kitchen or is he for not having just said 'yes' when I asked if he wanted help?
I know this seems petty but we are not in a good place and haven't been for a while so small things carry a whole backlog of feeling!
