To be annoyed with my dp?

We had lunch in an expensive bar. The waitress handed me my drink and as she walked away I knokec the glass over. When I was asked for a replacement I was told that I would have to buy another one.
I said to the waiter that I thought that wasn't very good customer relations as I hadn't even had a sip. Then I said I knew it wasn't his fault and could we have the bill please? I said all of this in my 'clipped' teacher's voice.
As we walked home my dp said that I had crossed the line and when I asked which line he said 'I should think about it.' I knew immediately what he meant and said that I didn't think I was rude or harsh. He then replied that I should go back and apologise. We had reached home by this point and I burst into tears (I have lot going on right now) and walked off. I'm now in a coffee shop feeling really annoyed at him and sorry for myself. AIBU?

I hope you did apologise.
You're not the only one with problems, I hope there isn't a waiter/ess sat somewhere crying on their break because they're really trying and struggling to be professional despite their own issues.

Thing is iris (lovely name ) all is not lost. You can go back and say sorry, it won't be that painful, In fact it will make you feel a lot better and the waiter will probably love you for it, people will be rude to him all the time and you will restore his faith in humanity a bit.
You can then go home and tell your dp yes he was right (cos he was) and you are sorry and you have apologised and he will like that you have done the right thing. You're not horrible, but you were a bit horrible today, That's allFlowers

Oh come on! It wasn't that bad, you're laying it on a bit thick now. OP has admitted she was wrong, that doesn't happen much on aibu so give her a break.

OP this is AIBU, people won't bother to RTFT, they absolutely love coming in to get their kick and opinion in too.

I'd suggest hiding this and starting a new thread in relationships or chat about whatever's going on.

I think you need to be honest with yourself about what's really upsetting you rather than being rude to waiting staff, then angry with your DP for calling you out on it. It sounds like you are struggling a bit at the moment, but that's hardly the waiter's fault!

Oh op, we all get shitty and snappy and unreasonable sometimes Flowers

I'm glad you went to apologise to the waiter and hope you can get things sorted with your dp.

Maybe have a think about posting elsewhere on the site about the other issues in your life in a day or 2 there's plenty of support on here.
