The other day DH was sitting on the sofa. Our newish small fish tank was on a shelving unit directly behind his head. The food for the fish was in a bowl literally just behind his right shoulder next to the fish tank..
I was sitting on another sofa across the other side of the room. I asked him politely if he'd mind turning around to feed the fish a pinch of fish food because I'd forgotten to do it earlier. He wouldn't even have to get off the sofa to do this so I thought it was a reasonable request. He said no because he said he'd mentioned to me when we bought the fish that although he was OK with us buying them, he didn't want to be involved with feeding them.
So I then get off the other sofa, walk across the lounge and literally have to lean over him to feed the fish.
I know this sounds like a really small thing but it just seemed so petty of him to say no to something that would take him less than 5 seconds to do. This sort of thing happens quite a bit in our relationship and I just find it so frustrating. It's all about him sticking to his principles and when I tell him how petty he's being he just sticks to his guns.
Is he being unreasonable or am I?
