Am I going insane?

We seem to row about the slightest thing at the moment, and I just don't trust my judgement any more. I don't know if it is me or him.

Two things today:

Our 17 year old daughter's school report arrived today. Someone put it (in the envelope) on my desk. I opened it , read it, and put it to one side. DH came into the room, followed by dd. I said "Oh, this arrived" and handed the report to my daughter. DH hit the roof as I should have shared it with him before giving it to her. I just think - she is 17 - if he wants to read it why not just say "Can I have a look" instead of ranting at me.

Second thing today. As background my diet is awful and I am very overweight. I need to make changes for my health. I decided the first thing was I would make sure I am eating my 5 a day fruit and veg (I currently eat enough veg but next to no fruit) and eat fruit instead of my current unhealthy snacking. I asked dh to buy some fruit juice, and commented I was trying to eat more fruit. He said "Well, that isn't enough as it is full of sugar". Bear in mind I had not shared the reason why I was doing this. I told him he didn't need to lecture me, and again he exploded "What is your fucking problem?". Apparently I should have just said "Yes, I know" as a response. But I felt his initial comment was completely unnecessary. He feels that I am the one making arguments where I don't need to.

I know this is petty shit, but I don't think I can go on like this.

I'm with you on the school report issue and undecided about the fruit juice as your DH's comment would be something I would have said. I can see however, why it causes the issue between the two of you.
