[quote=Anonymous]I'm a DW, and sometimes I behave like this with my DH. Not nearly as bad, and he's not walking on eggshells, but when I'm really frustrated I get this mean sarcastic streak. I'm working on behaving better, and my DH is not easily riled up, but based on this, here is my advice. When he says something like that, ask him, in an even voice, "Are you OK?" "You seem unusually bothered by this minor issue--are you feeling frustrated?" The other thing is not to engage and not let him ruin your mood. Walk away, force yourself to pretend the snide comment wasn't heard, etc. Or laugh. When he says, why couldn't you wait to start eating, just say the food was calling your name, or something silly. Defuse the situation. But yes, the underlying issue is that for whatever reason your DH is frustrated, and he is unable to articulate or to share with you his frustration, and this is the end result.
