Annoying Fight - Should I apologize?

Right, exactly what kind of help did this man need?
I agree with the PP who wrote out the apology, it's probably the best way to handle it. But for what it's worth, I don't think you were wrong at all.

+1. And big hug to you OP. Weekends that end with a fight really suck. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Maybe he was just mad that you were on the phone instead of talking to him? My sister tends to be glued to her phone, and I'll be honest, it's really annoying!

That's my thinking as well. I didn't get that he needed help from the story but more so possibly that you were on your phone. It still wasn't right to flip out on you though. AND if he did flip out over not helping with the dvd then that's just sad.

OP back. Thanks for all the comments/suggestions.

When I got home from work last night, DH was still giving me the cold shoulder. After we put the kids to bed, I asked him if he was ready to talk. He said that he couldn't believe I had watched the movie without him. I apologized and told him that if it made him feel any better, it was an awful movie and now I'll have to sit through it again with him. He laughed and we hugged.

Then he apologized for overreacting. He said it wasn't that he wanted help setting up but that he wanted me to talk to him and be excited about the movie. So yeah, PP's above, he was pissed that I was on my phone. I told him that after putting both kids down, I just needed to zone out for a few minutes. I'm an introvert.

And we laughed about him calling me lazy after I had spent the day cooking Easter dinner and hosting his whole family, while dealing with the kids. We were both just tired from the holiday. And after a night of make up sex, we're back to normal!
