Sorry this is almost definitely trivial but I'm doubting my judgement here and not sure if I'm overreacting.
DH was taking my eldest DS out to a sports thing this afternoon and they have to drive right past the supermarket so I asked him to get a few bits on the way back. I did originally say milk and the newspaper but ended up writing a list of about 15 things for him to get.
So he gets there and realises it won't all fit in a basket and he doesn't have any change for a trolley. Phones me to see if we really need it all but I don't hear the phone as in another room.
Just as I spot the missed call and am calling back he shows up outside the house, comes inside and explains what happened.
I say don't worry about it, I only asked as you were passing, I'll just go later or tomorrow. But he insists on going back so I give him a pound coin for the trolley. By this time it's getting near the boys' tea time so I suggest he goes to a smaller supermarket near the big one, but he ignores that suggestion and comes back with the shopping nearly an hour later (it's about a seven minute drive to the supermarket).
When he gets back he starts crashing around "tidying up" and obviously in a major bad mood. I said he seemed stressed, he said yes he was. I asked if there was anything I could do to help but he just said no.
In fairness by the time I'd served up dinner twenty minutes later he had calmed down and was more upbeat but by then I was starting to get pissed off at his behaviour and felt like the mood of the house had been poisoned.
AIBU to think he didn't need to drive home to get a pound coin (fifteen minute round trip), and he was clearly trying to make the fact that I asked him to do a bit of shopping into a really big deal?
Or was he just having a bad day? He's popped out now but when he gets back I need to either raise it with him or have got over it. I know he'll say I'm making a big deal out of nothing. Am I???
