DP expected me to move off the sofa so she could take my seat

DP was out all morning, I was at home. We have a corner sofa with a chaise and a second two-seater sofa. When she arrived home mid afternoon I was lying on my stomach on the corner sofa working on my laptop.

She came into the room with her earphones in and said 'can I sit down, Skittles?'

I sat up to make space for her (although the two seater was free) and put my legs out on the chaise. She continued staring at me.

I said, 'do you want me to move?'

She shouted, 'WHAT?' and took out an earphone. I repeated my question.

She responded, 'yeah. I've been looking forward to coming home, eating my lunch and sitting in this seat'.

I said, 'I just think it's a bit rude to make someone move from the seat they're in'

She said, 'if you want to argue, go ahead'

I knew arguing with her was pointless so I got up and went and sat in the other room.

AIBU to feel hurt by this? She is now acting like nothing happened

I always just say "no" if someone dares ask me to move.

Unless it's my dog.

I don't know how you have the energy to deal with such petty squabbles, never mind post on the internet and expect anybody else to have the energy to.

If you're squabbling over this honestly what's the point just call it a day

What a controlling weirdo! Why does she get top trumps on the best seat? Rude, too!

Why did you move?? I'd have told them to f off
