AIBU or was he in the wrong?

So yesterday my husband and I had a row before bed.

Basically, earlier on in the evening I was about to play a video on my phone and I asked him if it would bother him if I played it out loud (as a courtesy.) He said he would prefer if I used my earphones, but that if I didn't have them it was fine, so I played the video (earphones downstairs.)

Later on he started playing a video out loud, and I said I would appreciate if he could ask me too as a courtesy because the video was loud and I was trying to read. I don't think I said this rudely. He then said 'oh it's always tit for tat with you' and got huffy and went to have a shower. I was annoyed at the way he spoke to me so went to sleep in a different room (can never sleep next to someone whose grumpy) and then came back into the bedroom as it was too cold.

DH was loving to me but I didn't like how he acted loving after being grumpy without acknowledging he had been a bit mean, so I said (again, not argumentatively) that I didn't understand why what I said had upset him. He said 'omg, one word PMS.' He knows I suffer with PMDD and so I don't appreciate this. He then told me to fuck off.

Was this an argument over nothing? Either way the way he spoke to me made me angry so I asked him to sleep downstairs as I won't be spoken to that way. He woke up this morning and stormed out saying nothing. I don't even feel angry - just not sure why he got so annoyed by what I said.

It's not the asking that's important, it's listening to the answer. You just ignored his response but then got arsey about not being asked, that's back to front. It sounds like he can do no right as you think your way is the only way, you should listen to the tit for tat thing though, it sounds like he is sick of the way you behave.

You ignored his answer, got moody over nothing, escalated it and didn't let it lie - you need a serious look at the way you behave. You haven't scored the moral high ground because he said fuck off, grow up.

You are being childish and sanctimonious. You've escalated a minor disagreement into a major row, with all this flouncing off to sleep in other rooms and ordering your DP around. Grow up. Best option, you apologise. Second best option, act like it never happened and put it behind you.
