I'm beginning to feel like I can't even talk to him anymore because he takes everything I say as me "getting at him" or criticising him in some way.
I'll give you an example: a couple of days ago he came home from work absolutely filthy so stood outside the back door and took his boots and socks off before coming inside. He left his dirty socks on the doorstep, so I said to him "you're not going to leave your socks there are you?". The reason I said this is because he has a habit of leaving his dirty socks outside on the doorstep until I pick them up. I once left them to see how long they would stay there and they were there for weeks before I gave in and picked them up. Our dirty linen basket is also kept just inside the back door.
So, by me saying this, he completely gets a strop on. I asked him later in the evening why he was in such a mood and he said it was because of what I had said about his socks when he got home from work.
To me, that is the most pathetic reason to be in a mood for a whole evening but this is what he is like. He decides when we fall out and he decides when we make up, which bugs me because he will suddenly say "anyway lets not fall out" (after he has been in a strop for hours) and I'm not allowed to question why such a small thing has got him in such a strop in the first place or say how he's made me feel by doing that.
I just don't get him. Is it me or is there something up here? Does anyone else go through this with their DH/DP?
