DP expected me to move off the sofa so she could take my seat

DP was out all morning, I was at home. We have a corner sofa with a chaise and a second two-seater sofa. When she arrived home mid afternoon I was lying on my stomach on the corner sofa working on my laptop.

She came into the room with her earphones in and said 'can I sit down, Skittles?'

I sat up to make space for her (although the two seater was free) and put my legs out on the chaise. She continued staring at me.

I said, 'do you want me to move?'

She shouted, 'WHAT?' and took out an earphone. I repeated my question.

She responded, 'yeah. I've been looking forward to coming home, eating my lunch and sitting in this seat'.

I said, 'I just think it's a bit rude to make someone move from the seat they're in'

She said, 'if you want to argue, go ahead'

I knew arguing with her was pointless so I got up and went and sat in the other room.

AIBU to feel hurt by this? She is now acting like nothing happened

I’m confused. You say DP but you refer to them as a woman

My sister used to say "my DP" until they got married....now she says "my wife".

I don't know how you have the energy to deal with such petty squabbles, never mind post on the internet and expect anybody else to have the energy to.

If you're squabbling over this honestly what's the point just call it a day

Exactly. It doesn’t sound a very compatible relationship does it?

She sounds like a dick. If shed said, aww skittles do you mind shifting to other sofa, ive had an awful/tiring/busy day and have been dream of collapsing in that corner all day.

Id have maybe made a joke she was lucky I spoilt her.

If shed wanted space beside you Id think it cute.

But she was rude entitled and tried to blame you
