Bit of background... I eat a mostly healthy diet and am trying to stay a healthy weight which I'm finding harder since peri MP. I feel that DH try's to wind me up on purpose. He knows I try to limit processed foods and sweet stuff but has just asked me if I want tinned soup for lunch which I don't eat, or rarely eat. So I said yes that sounds lovely. Few minutes later he asked if I wanted crisps with that and I said no thanks you get some if you want some. Then he said do you want some chocolate. I said no thanks you get some and he proceeded to start saying "why are you getting so annoyed" I'm only asking if you want anything.... I said I'm not annoyed I just said you get some if you want some... he kept insisting I was annoyed and stressed and I should calm down but it was him who was acting annoyed. Honestly I feel like he's always saying things to get me to react. I'm really trying to watch my reactions just to see if he is doing what I think he's doing. I know this sounds ridiculous and petty but I often seem stressed and it's usually something he's said to wind me up out of the blue. I really feel like he's doing it on purpose. This is just an example of what I mean and could easily apply to lots of other situations.

Maybe he is just trying to get you to eat unhealthy as he still does and is annoyed you won’t take the unhealthy stuff.Dont say” get some if you want”, say “thanks for offering I’m trying to eat healthy remember, totally fine for you to get some for yourself though”.
