Just a little thing that blows up

I was just telling my DP a story about something stressful that happened at work today and midway through he takes out his phone and starts reading an email. I stopped talking and around 40 seconds later he looked up, sees my obviously pissed off face and says "What's with the attitude?" I said "you've just been really rude to me" His reply "Right, sorry but I don't appreciate your attitude". I then try to explain that I thought he was rude and that's why I was annoyed and he stats going on and on that I make a huge deal about everything. I then said (to diffuse a fight) "ok really don't worry it's fine". I honestly made my tone friendly but now he's not talking to me.

Am I wrong to just not think an apology is an apology if its immediately turned around to criticise me?? Or am I just a precious cow? It seems I'm never ever allowed to be upset by anything he does and if I am then it's always turned around on me!

Jeeeeez

It is rude to ignore someone to read emails on your phone, that's just fact. He then tells you that he doesn't appreciate your attitude that was a response to his rudeness.... Now he's giving you the silent treatment because he was rude to you and you reacted.

Okaaaaaaay

Sorry something more helpful is that you have every right to your emotions and he is a twat.

hhmmm next time he need to talk to you about something give him a taste of his own medicine - and some!

He is ill mannered at best, but imho a twat!

Why are you with him?

Yes that is just rude - he might as well have said "I am not interested in what you are saying, it is boring". Then to twist it and blame YOU compounds the issue. sorry but he is a knobhead.
