Not sure if I’m overreacting but it’s really starting to piss me off. Dh is a mild mannered man most of the time, but occasionally, he takes a really harsh and patronizing tone over very small things. I remember pulling him up over it a few times when we got together first and he reined it in but has still happened on occasion over the last 15 years.
It’s been happening more frequently recently and it really makes me shrivel up inside. Most recently, twice over the past few weeks, something in the house has broken when I’ve been using it (through normal wear and tear, no fault of mine) and he’s sprung straight on the offensive about it, huffing and puffing about. I normally just roll my eyes and ignore but I pulled him up on it this evening and he’s gone on the defensive in what I think is a DARVO response.
Not sure what I’m asking really, but he’s upset me enough to really question his behaviour. He’s great most of the time but this is really getting to me.
