[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks all. He does have this utter need to be right, but never taken it this far. So this is sort of a one-off. Sorry I didn't come back, I had calls/work I was doing! I think I've decided that I'm going to just let this BS go and he'll figure it out in about 3 weeks when all the "soy milk" is going bad... Because every "solution" I keep thinking of makes me look a crazy person arguing about milk. When he blew up at me, all I said was, "I am seriously not going to argue with you over milk." That was it. I walked away. Something else has to be going on. I mean, who the hell argues that a hamburger is broccoli, just because they accidentally picked up hamburger? It's too bizarre.

This could have happened in my house.  I NEVER ask my DH to go grocery shopping b/c somehow he associates with his mother - who was nitpicky as hell.  I saw that once when there was a screaming fight between them over Dove bars. If he says he's going to the store I might ask him to pick up something that is impossible to screw up.  I actually hate when he does go shopping b/c he calls no less than 3 or 4 times and asks me to clarify, or do I want this brand, etc. It always ends up with me being the bad guy no matter what I do.

Anyway, I'm not suggesting that you did anything wrong, the above is just for context, but for my husband that's what at the root of it. I usually just drop it.

The one time recently I dug in is when he refused to admit the girl in the red coat in Schindler's list was the same little girl Schindler later sees on a cart carrying dead bodies.  He finally admitted I was right but I was PISSED. I understand the  frustration of trying to argue with crazy.[/quote]
