Me and DH were in a supermarket carpark the other day and I had the trolley next to the car. I was about to take it back to the trolley park when a car started reversing into the space I was just standing over the edge of. I waited as I wasn't sure if they'd seen me and I didn't want to get mown down. Male driver of car opened his door and yelled 'we'll come on then'. Well, DH went ballistic and was yelling at this guy 'come on then, don't speak to my wife like that, get out of the car' etc etc. the car driver started shouting back so I was just trying to get DH (well over a foot taller than me) to calm down and get in the car.
In the meantime an employee of the store was watching this, took the trolley off me and told me he'd have a word with the other driver because he said he was out of order. DH is still shouting through the window. Other driver asks me to put my window down and I said no because I didn't want to make things worse. He said he wanted to apologise so I wound my window down, he apologised but the him and DH kept on at each other. In the end I begged DH to drive off to stop it escalating into violence.
DH has form for road rage and it really frightens me. He knows this but apparently he's 'done taking abuse off people' and 'most women would be grateful he'd stood up for them'. But I was frightened, mortified and apparently ungrateful.
He never used to be this angry man, and I don't know why he's so cross all the time.
So how would you feel in this situation? He thinks he's done nothing wrong and that I'm unreasonable for being upset.
