I had an issue with DP, in that he was quite grumpy and snappy for no real reason.
This is getting better now, as I call him out on his behaviour and it's more few and far between. If he is snappy for no reason, mostly he apologises and we move on. Pretty normal kind of relationship stuff.
However, the issue arises on the occasions I get pissed off and snap, which isn't very often at all. Last night was one such situation - we'd been to a fiesta here in Spain and it finished pretty late, usually we take DD for an ice cream and have a quick drink and go home. Last night we planned to meet his family who were in the same area afterwards to do the same as usual (usually we go alone, but this time with them. Never again!!) - ice cream, quick drink, then home. They were with loads of people, everyone was arsing about walking slowly, not making a decision about where to go, it was roasting and we had drunk all our water. All I wanted to do was take a seat and chill for half an hour with DD as we'd beee. On our feet for a couple of hours, then make the long walk back to the car. So I asked him twice, are we going somewhere - yes, yes, going with my mum and dad for a drink. We carried on walking aimlessly and at that point I was getting irritated. I was a bit snappy and he snapped back at me that we were just going to their car for them to give us a lift to our car (totally in opposite directions) and that we're not going anywhere as they just want to go home. Why our much better plans had to change and why we had to walk around hot, thirsty and tired to a car further away than ours, then drive back in traffic to our car, at 1am made no sense to me and at that point I was really pissed off. We could have turned back plenty of times and finished our night as planned, but no.
So no major row, just barked at each other a bit, me more than him, over what was a totally irritating situation and a complete waste of time in baking humid weather. So now, he's barely speaking to me. I apologised for being grumpy and said it wasn't his fault, but my feet were tired and me and DD were thirsty etc. This happens every time I get snappy or grumpy with him. He just can't take the apology and move on. Their was no swearing, name calling or major row and now I get at least a day of him acting like I behaved really badly towards him, yet I just accept an apology and move on. It's ridiculous. Sometimes in a relationship you get irritated and it shouldn't be a massive deal. We've talked about this before, but just seem to go round in circles. Does anyone else have this in their relationship and if so, how do you deal with it as it drives me insane! I can't be doing with prolonging silly arguments and bad atmospheres.
