Am I crazy that I expect my husband to switch off the lights in the toilet ?

I just need to know if it is really me who is in the wrong here and just a little petty. Please help !

Just to give a little context.
my husband never switches the lights off in the bathroom after switching them on ( in the day time - another thing why would you put them on in the first place). The same with not closing the cabinets in the bathroom ( he keeps his cosmetics in there so opens it at least twice a day) and also never closes wardrobe doors after taking clothes out.

if have asked him occasionally to close them, but most of the time I just do it and say nothing. It started started irritating me lately so I decided to let him know each time he does it, so he would be more mindful of it.

after one day he told me I was being petty and just looking to find something to pick on. And then he stopped talking to me after calling me Mrs. Perfect.

Am I really being petty ?

My husband did these things too . It was part of his ADHD .

I was going to say this. Since I was a child, I’ve not shut drawers, doors, bottle and jar lids… probably other things. I was diagnosed a few years ago and though this isn’t one of the diagnostic criteria, I’ve read that people with ADHD are often like this. It annoys me, when I notice it
