To think this is not me being negative?

Supposed to be going out on a trip today, the thing we are doing happens on the hour.

Me. They go on the hour every hour from 11am
DH. Let's aim for 12 or 1 then
Me. let's aim for 12
DH. 12 or 1

There then follows a brief discussion of me saying 'well 12, let's aim for 12'
And DH saying '12 or 1' which he says is basically the same thing but I was being negative. 'ok' I say, '12 or 1 then' When I suggest to him that if they are the same thing then me saying 12 is not an issue at all and I can't understand why he would think my response was a negative one unless perhaps he really wants to go at one but then why not say so in the first place?

He tells me I am negative a lot. I can't seem to respond to anything he says without him saying I am bing negative and frankly it's getting on my tits now.

AIBU to find this really upsetting as it feels like any response I give to anything is going to be considered negative but I definitely don't want to be in a position where I just respond 'yes' to everything.

Oh, I see what you mean.Blush

Well I'd just get up, get ready & go-and whichever time we were ready for, that's the one we'd get!

I suppose if we are going somewhere then I would find people deliberately not getting ready annoying-does that make me an A?

Go to Relationships and look at the thread about "My DH is right. Always".

Your DH is a version of this.

It sounds to me as though you are starting to tread on eggshells...thinking about what you say as you will be picked up on it...

Not right really...
