I realise how stupid this is, but have argued with DH and am really not sure if I have been awful. If it has any bearing I am pregnant and have been in and out of hospital with serious complications.
I spent most of today wrapping presents upstairs while DH played with children and watched Christmas movies with them.
I came down when finished, they had all just finished their evening meal, none saved for me. I was a little fed up so DH offered to make me something, I asked for a simple meal but was told it was a waste of ingredients for one person. I told DH not to bother then and went out to kitchen to make toast. DH told me he would do it, I said I was fine. He grabbed the knife in my hand, I refused to let go of it so he yelled at me and grabbed my wrist to force it from my hand. It hurt a lot and I was crying, so I trod on his foot to try and shock him into letting go of me. He swore at me and called me abusive and has stormed out. My wrist hurts but is not marked.
We are both wrong I know, but should I be worried about his temper and grabbing me? This is totally out of character for both of us.
AIBU?

I really cannot believe I'm reading this.
In what world do you picture a pregnant woman whose husband has grabbed her wrist, with a knife in it, and start thinking she might be in the wrong for responding physically?
I don't think there's ever a need for physicality between couples, apart from the pleasant physicality obviously 
But I can sort of understand how the argument went.
You're annoyed and probably a bit achy after wrapping, he's annoyed and tired after entertaining the kids and cooking for them etc.
You come down and ask, perfectly pleasantly, if they saved you any, he said no but he'd make you something, he probably expected you to say no and you'd get yourself something TBF, you said you'd like pasta, a whole jar would feed all of you so I can kinda see his point about it being wasteful, then you said something like,
"Fine then, I'll make myself some toast"
But his male mind heard "Fine" in that 'tone' that tone that says,
"I may have said fine but actually I'm not fine, I think you're a dick and I'd wish you'd get the fuck out of my face"
He then tried to rectify his action by offering to make your tost for you, you replied with another 'Fine', meaning 'cockwomble', then it snowballed, he tried to take the knife, you tries to stop him, he grabs wrist, you stamp feet and you both suddenly become toddlers fighting over the yellow car because its fastest. Nownhes stormed off because innhisnhead he was just trying to be nice, your pissed because he's a cuntbadger. You're here moaning, he's down the pub moaning,
"I aint seen her all day and when she came down I offered to make her tea for her but she told me to Fuck off and she'd make her own and somehow I'm the numptymuncher? I swear I don't understand wimmin"
So on and so forth.
Hopefully he'll return with 
and 
and a sorry but TBF it seems more a spat than a full blown screamathon.
Are you both quite stubborn and he was just intent on out-stubborning you this time but took it too far without actually intending to hurt you?
I still think he was in the wrong for a) not asking you if you wanted dinner when he was making it for everyone else, b) telling you you cant have pasta sauce 
(its really not up to him what you eat!) and c) grabbing you.
He owes you the apologies. If you think you were unreasonably grumpy with him then you could apologise for that but not for stomping on him, i think that was deserved and to be expected really given what he was doing to you!
