[quote=Anonymous]My husband gets annoyed at me for tons of little things, whereas I let things go more frequently.  I don’t disagree that maybe sometimes I’m annoying, but his frequent expressions of annoyance make me really unhappy.  Here are some examples:

Me: “look, they have your favorite dish in the menu!”
Him:  “I can read! Why do you think you need to read the menu for me?!”

Or, another time:
Me:  you should see if you still have your snorkel equipment in the basement for our trip.  
Him:  I’ll check.  
Me, thinking out loud: even if we find the equipment, maybe we should get new stuff; I bet the old rubber parts are wearing out.  
Him:  I JUST SAID I WOULD CHECK 10 SECONDS AGO.

I am really not a nag.  I’m super careful to avoid asking for anything to prevent him from getting annoyed with me.

To him, this is no big deal.  He says “I’m allowed to express annoyance.  I’m not yelling or criticizing.  I’m just having a normal reaction.”

Despite this, I feel very criticized. It’s worse when this happens during a moment that’s important to me. It’s like, no matter the circumstances, he wants to be able to be free to express annoyance.   [/quote]
