So having a nice chilled morning, DH taken daughter to work , I've had a bath and was just tidying the kitchen and DH comes in chatting away and cleans his walking boots. Puts the clean but wet walking boot on the arm of the sofa. I did shriek out "don't put that on there!" And he's massively kicked off, banging things around saying I am out of order, it was only there for a minute, he was in a good mood before that , he would never pull me up like that etc etc . I'm upset now feeling I've ruined the day.
I can't help thinking it (stupid place to put wet boot) but should I have counted to 10 or not said it?

Is there a huge backstory?

It sounds like an overreaction from him to be banging things about.

What tiny minded prick would put a walking boot on any soft furnishing??

I would have done the same; it’s a reflex reaction. I wouldn’t mind apologising for shouting if my DH was bothered by it but I wouldn’t expect him to go into a strop

On the sofa?!?!?? Why???!!! Who even does that?! Just leave them in the hall or wherever he was cleaning them!

It's not nagging to ask someone once not to do something.

Was it a leather type sofa where the wet wouldn't sink it?

Why did you shriek? Could you not have just said?

Why can't you both now have a discussion and whoever is sorry say sorry and move on?

We've cleared the air now but I really did just say it. I just couldn't believe it was such a daft thing to do (on a fabric sofa) I'm pretty sure I was quite patronising. Would it have hurt to just move it and say sorry love. It's exhausting
