So pissed off last night, I was talking to partner over MSN (our main method of contact) and it was like he just wanted to start an argument, here is the conversation:

Me: Hows your mum?
him: same as usual, stressing over the car (handbrake needs fixing, she's only had it a couple of months).
me: oh, that would annoy me too.
him: confused why?
me: well it's irritating isnt it?
him: why? it's a non issue!
me: yeah but its just something else to add to your everyday worries lol
him: even though I explained to her what 'under warrante means??'
me: sensing argument yeah well Im just saying I would have been annoyed too
him: confused but she isnt annoyed..
me: for gods sake, stressed then
him: but she isnt stressed, she was stressed for all of 30 seconds until she was happy with the word 'warrantee'
me: yes ok whatever, just saying it would have irritated me too initially.
him: even though its a non issue?

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so in the end I just said "night night" and turned msn off...just in time to see him type "night night, love you (still)" as if I was lucky that I hadnt pissed him off!!

Am I over-reacting? Is it obvious to everyone else that he was trying to start an argument or was I in the wrong during that conversation?

he did sound a little grumpy and short

I think that maybe any convo would have ended up a bit crappy at that time

maybe it was just a bad time

Yes you're over reacting.

think you were overreacting too - he said his mum was stressed, not him.
I think it's like being asked why I am in a bad mood - that always puts me into a bad mood, even if I was lovely and calm beforehand.
