my DH and I have an unresolved argument that keeps flaring up. I'd like some impartial opinions please. Several years ago we played scrabble. It ended in a furious row after he accused me of "shutting down" the board. Basically I play the highest score I can, with the tiles that I have in front of me. His opinion is that if I put a word down that then "closes off" his ability to play a word, I'm playing aggressively and that makes me not a nice person. I'm failing to understand his point of view. Surely I should just be playing to the best score I can make with the tiles that I have? If I try and defend the way that I play then he accuses me of getting angry...I feel that I'm in a no win situation here. It feels that he wants me to let him win or "downplay" myself and if I don't do that, I'm viewed negatively and in my opinion, unfairly. I'm a bit lost here and would like some opinions on how to handle this please as its making me really annoyed with him. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't act this way towards a male friend or somebody who wasn't his wife!
