to get annoyed by OH's over the top reactions to things

[Pooshy]

For example just now I hear "FFS" shouted from downstairs. I ask what's wrong and he tells me he thought his DVD was damaged (it wasn't)

AIBU for thinking he flies off the handle v easily, and his way of showing annoyance is a bit silly and extreme?

We're quite different in this respect. If I get annoyed I'll just think Grrr, whereas he'll shout in annoyance

I find it really annoying!!!

Oooh. Mine does this! Gets proper vocally angry about stuff.
I'm very laid back so really don't understand. I used to be all bothered and try and talk him round. Now I check he's not hurt then leave him to it. It's his way of dealing. He's never mean to me or violent just... shouty. And mainly at himself. Meh. Everyone is different.

Struggling fool exactly the same for me! Guess I should just ignore if but I just find it a bit silly and unattractive

Mine is the same. It's the little things yet he is very calm about the big things. I found dealing with it by bursting out laughing stops him in his tracks

It's not good if you have kids around.

Mine got arsy about something stupid, can't remember the exact details, but it meant I had to stop what I was doing to listen to. him about a complete non event. And breathe

Glad to hear it's not just me!!

Mine too. I call 'language' in my best teacher voice. He loves that.

Mine called me from downstairs in such a serious voice I thought that ww3 had broken out...he couldn't find the right screws to mend a bolt on a door.

I raised eyebrows.

My DH can do this but he calms down as quickly as he explodes. He gets wound up by trivial things and keeps a cool head when the shit hits the fan.

I, on the other hand, tend to more like a volcano - takes time to erupt but when I do it can take a while to calm down. I can cope with the trivial but find the big stuff harder.

Essentially, our temperaments compliment each other...
