Have I over-reacted with DH being arsey to me?

DH has just got in from work. Grunted "hello" at me and then walked off. Unusual. So I ask how his day was and he says "ok apart from having to faff about trying to squeeze into the small gap you left on the driveway for my car".
I reply "oh? I didn't realise I had"

He says "yeah for some reason you've decided to start parking in the centre of the driveway so that I can't get in properly".

I say "I haven't decided anything, I just didn't realise I had taken so much space. You only need to tell me it's in the way and I'll move it."

He replies "it's in the way"

I say "ok so I'll move it"

He says "well it doesn't matter now, I've got in".

I reply "ok, well now that I know I'll make sure I leave room".

He says "well for some reason you've decided it's your new way of parking".

Etc etc ... I'm pissed off by this point so just start to ignore him. No need for it, to just come in and start kicking off about a non issue when all he needed to say was "could you nudge your car up a bit".

10 minutes later he tries to make a joke with me and I don't really respond. He says "oh? What's up with you??" So I tell him I don't appreciate the way he spoke to me when he came in as it was unnesseccary. He denies he did anything wrong and now has a face on.

He does this shit all the time, just suddenly decides I have done something wrong and goes on like I've been sleeping with the milk man.

WIBU to tell him I was annoyed by it?

That sounds awful to me. Bumping for you until someone else comes along with more knowledge.

He has decided you are his whipping boy. Then when you pull him up on it he minimises /goes off into one.

YANBU.

If my DH is being arsy like that (usually because he's had a crap day or is hungry), I tell him he's being a dick. He then usually realises he's taking his grump out on me and apologises.

Same as Aurora - my DP can be a bit like this on a bad day, fortunately not very often, and will always apologise for being a dick later on.

My husband is like this sometimes - refusing to let things lie and just being rude from the get-go. Ignore him for a bit and hi and do something on your own (I usually walk the dog) and 9 times out of 10 (after the fact) it turns out someone / something else was bothering him and I just got the shitty end of the stick.

I think you're overreacting personally. He was a dick, you called him out on it. Leave it. Don't carry it on ages later yourself. Or you'll be going round in circles like that forever. Just let things go
