Am I being insensitive or is DP over sensitive?

[MagicFinger]

Sorry if this sounds petty but it's an accumulation of these kind of scenarios which has led me to post.

So I was feeling unwell today and DP popped in as a surprise on his way past the house to see how I was.

He had to be quick as working, we had a chat and a hug.

I then asked if he'd brought his tape measure home as I wanted to see if the sofa he liked would fit. We have been looking for a new sofa.

I went online to find the measurements and he got a little sad faced and huffy.

Apparently he was upset he'd come to see me, didn't have long and I was messing about on the computer.

So, this kind of thing happens often, can I have some opinions? Thanks

Id find it needy too. My DH isn't the sad face, huffy type luckily.
I don't think feeling under the weather prevents you from looking up sofas online.

In this situation I think you were rude. He prioritised you over his work and you've responded by prioritising your second choice eBay sofa over him. I'd have been huffy too.

Of course that doesn't mean he isn't annoyingly needy in other situations.

More examples are needed of his neediness OP!

I think in this particular case, YABU. He came home to see you and you started faffing around on the computer, even though you knew he didn't have much time? Surely it could have waited five minutes until he left?

You say he's needy in general, though. What other examples of his behaviour do you find needy/suffocating?
