[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok so I am on the other side of this.  My DH drives me nuts, and sometimes I let it slip.  BUT it's mainly because we both WFH 3 days a week and it's just too much time together.  I need a damn break from him!  It boils down to him being a super extrovert and me being slightly on the introvert side.  I just need some quiet and space when our kids aren't here.

He is someone who can take it a LOT more stimulus than I can.  He will talk, listen to music and watch tv at the same time.  I can not do that, and it makes me cranky to even think about it.  If we are talking, I have to turn music down.  If we watching tv, I can't also talk about whatever is one his phone.  I need some low stimulus time every day, and he just never needs that.  So I get annoyed with him!  I realize it's not all his fault, and I have spent a lot of time mulling over WHY some of these things are irritating for me so that I can explain them rationally to him.

So I guess that's my advice.  Do you need more social stimulation outside of what he can give you?  [/quote]

No one is saying spouses can’t be annoyed with each other. The concerning thing is he’s expressing it with peevish contempt rather than using his big boy words. Also, nothing in OP’s description makes it sound like she’s as multi tasking and loud as your husband-pleasantly saying “oh look there are soft shell crabs, honey!” should not be irritating, even it’s not something you yourself would say out loud.
