When DH is grumpy AIBU to ask if everything’s ok? Any even kind acknowledgement gets my head bitten off!

Just ignore it entirely if he doesn't like being asked. Leave him to strop on his own while you get on with your own day.

If he's grumpy he's obviously not ok. But you need to chat with him and tell him you are not tolerating that shit. Life's too short to be in a relationship with a grumpy snappy bastard.

It's awful to be asked that when you're grumpy to be fair (if you're the grouchy unreasonable type) but that's not your fault. It's awful to be grumpy and take it out on those around you rather than finding a mature way to manage your emotions!

Wait until he's sorted himself out, if he's still grumpy now OP, and then once he's back on an even keel, tell him that getting cross when he's looking grumpy, and you enquire whether he's OK, is just not on, you're trying to help by asking, and biting your head off, is just unacceptable. Ask him why he thinks it's OK to do that.
