DH and I not getting on

Just what the title says really, we're really not getting along at the moment. I don't know whether it's a case of spending too much time together recently, or perhaps its just a difficult time, I really don't know.
We are arguing over everything, today I apparently I have done nothing but 'nag' or 'given me evils'. I snapped at him this morning because when trying to set up a printer, instead of him just waiting for me to set it up he starts putting the ink cartridges in, even though I asked him to just be patient because it won't set up correctly like that. Lo and behold I had to wait for him to finish fart arsing around with the cartridges before I could continue with the set up. But somehow the argument this caused is my fault for always 'nagging'.
That's just one example, it's like we can go a few days without arguing, then the smallest thing will set one of us off, there is a horrible atmosphere whenever we argue, and it can last for days. The kids don't deserve to be around it.
On a separate sort of note, why do men suddenly become better fathers when we argue? It's like he's scoring points against me by spending time with the kids when he wouldn't normaly. It frustrates me. I'm due on and that will be the reason why I've been in such a mood and then nothing more will be said.
Would just like to stop arguing, thought this was meant to be a happy time of year, I just feel like shit.

Is this a recent thing or been going on for some time? Covid has meant couples are spending a lot more time together than they are used to and this can means tempers are frayed. Could it just be this?
