Calorie Counting

We’ve been dieting for 2 weeks, 3 months ago I gave birth to my twin girls. I have been CRAVING a pizza and ordered a pizza. My DH sat next to me whilst I’m eating it and was scrolling on his phone & said do you know how many calories are in that pizza? I said I don’t know & I don’t want to know I just want to enjoy it! So he said just guess? I said again no I really don’t want to count calories.
I want to enjoy my pizza. He then said I don’t care just guess? So I said all huffy with a face full of pizza, I don’t know 4000 he said no and gave me the answer!
3 times I had said to him I don’t want to know. The point is I carried on eating but why say you don’t care and insist on I know.
I just wanted to enjoy my god damn pizza! There’s other little examples like I take a bath & he says ‘that was a long bath’ I said was it? He says yes well longer than usual ( it was hairwash night ) he then came into the bedroom & said I didn’t realise it was hairwash night, as to say sorry I said you took a long time! By the way it was 15 minutes. The only time I get alone after a day with all four children. I love him and his a great husband in most areas and great with the children but his ways really grate on me. He always has to be right. Will get his phone out and google something to show me or prove to me he was right, even if it was something small in general conversation.
I got upset with him about the calorie counting last night & it all spilled out. He says he understands his way and accepts his been wrong but his spent most of the day with a droopy sad face, as i was angry with him & I haven’t kissed or cuddled him! I guess I’m ranting a bit but AIBU for feeling annoyed by this.

Sometimes there are days where only a pizza will do and you have two newborns to look after. I wouldn't let it build up, just say what you think as soon as he says it. He can say whats on his mind so do the same, it doesn't have to be an argument.

Yesterday was one of those days. I agree, I guess it all spilled out because I avoided saying anything when he did things that I disagree with, as normally it does blow up in to an argument
