Ridiculous argument over a cup of tea

I have no idea how this has got so out of hand.

I'm going to say everything that has happened in case it turns out IABU

I got home from work around 5pm, got changed into comfy clothes and watched a bit of TV.
DP got home and asked if I wanted a cup of tea which I did. So he put the kettle on and went out to water the plants.
I started making dinner and the kettle started boiling so I turned it off (it's stove top) and carried on with dinner.
He came in and couldn't believe that I hadn't made the tea.
(This happened yesterday that I turned the kettle off and went upstairs as it seems he often offers to do something and I end up doing it myself - so figured he could make it. )
I got angry since i was actually doing something and left the room saying he could make dinner.
I brought him a cake home from work so he came up with the tea and started to unwrap it.
I told him if he was going to act like an arse he couldn't have it. So he threw it at the sofa next to me.

I was trying not to laugh at this point as it had got completely ridiculous.

Eventually he's stormed downstairs to carry on with dinner but keeps asking what to do. And I'm pissed off so saying he can figure it out himself.

I think we're both too stubborn to apologise so guess we'll go to bed and all will be forgotten by morning (we usually get on really well!).

I know we're both acting like children and should grow up. It feels like I do everything - yes he's stressed at work but surely he's being unreasonable.

Six of one half a dozen of the other OP. Think you both need to apologise and share the cake.

He was bu to assume you would make the tea.

You were bu to rise to that though. No need to get angry. A simple "I'm making dinner. I thought you were making tea" would suffice.
You were bu to strop off and tell him to make dinner.

You wbu to withdraw the cake. He WBU to throw the cake.

In what way was he being an arse? Was he really shitty about the tea business? In which case YWNBU at all of course.

I am bu to be thinking about this debacle.

I can see how these things escalate though. Grin
