My DP is really starting to do my head in. Most of the time he is lovely, but then for no apparent reason he will snap. Just as an example, today our little DD had an injection, so I rang him in my break from uni to see if she was ok or having any reactions or anything. The conversation went like this:
Him: "What?"
Me: "hiya love, just ringing to check if everything is fine before I..."
Him: (interrupting) "I'm busy. Go away."
And then he hung up! With a normal person I would think it was he actually was incredibly busy, but he does stuff like this all the time, slamming doors if I ask him a simple question such as if he has anything planned for tea or should I make something, or tutting and muttering under his breath if I have a brew and leave the cup next to me until I next happen to be standing up (I'm 33 weeks pregnant, so standing up is a bit of an undertaking!) It's bizzarre. Like I say, he is mostly lovely, apart from these little outbursts of acting like a teenager.
What is the best way of dealing with this, should I always confront him (but that would make him defensive and turn it into an argument in front of DD) or ignore it and hope that if I don't react he will learn not to do it.
He's 34, btw, not 4...
