Today, my husband(30m) was putting the dishes away a little while after I(27f) had done them. For context:This includes children’s cups. I asked him to put them away & he starts putting the cups together, that are still wet. I asked him why he would put cups & dishes away while they’re still wet. Then, he asked me “are you calling me a f****ng idiot?” I responded with, “well you said that not me.”
Pllllleeeaaasse give me all the reasons your SO has been mad at you about that is absolutely ridiculous!!!!
Comments
Coughing too much
For being in pain. Literally. My crying was annoying him.
Cheating on her in her dream.
Having hiccups. “Control your body, have some self control”
ex once argued with me that ONE MILLION dollar bills were something that the US made and circulated through the economy
Waking him up from his nap at the exact time he told me to wake him up from his nap 💀 “I’m still TIRED, OK??” And then he gets mad at me later when he wakes up because I let him sleep too long. Like sir I am not your mother. You gave me a task and I completed it. I got shit to do.
When I respond to him with the same energy he is giving. Suddenly, I am the asshole. Couldn’t be that his behavior caused my reaction!
Literally just happened. He went to drive his kid to a fishing spot we drove to twice in the last 24 hours. Asked me to drive them and wait in the car while they fished. I said no, He said fine and left.
Came back 20 minutes later so frustrated because he couldn’t find the place and is blaming me.
I’m so tired of this amateur hour.
That my parents and best friend of 10 + years were the most important people in my life and “above” him. We’ve only been talking for a month at that point
Apparently, I blow my nose wrong.
I once fought like my life depended on it that our stacked washer and dryer had the washer on top and dryer on bottom. I swore I was moving clothes from the top to the bottom to dry. We went back and forth and it ruined our whole weekend trip away from the house.
BUT My boyfriend has never been more proud to watch me see for myself I was wrong. He was absolutely right. The machine filled with water is obviously on the bottom.
I have not lived that one down for about four years now. It does a great job at break the tension when we are hangry or getting too frustrated with each other.
My phone didn’t have service 2,000 miles away during a tropical storm. So when I finally was able to call out(yay!) I got yelled at.
He wanted me to hold the Christmas tree upright and off the ground while he laid on the ground and tried to saw off the bottom of it. I had the audacity to suggest laying the tree down for this process. He was so upset by my audacity that he threw the saw at my legs.
He is currently mad at me because I wanted to hang out with him, and he didn’t want to be around people. He gave me a hard time because I was disappointed he didn’t want to hang out with friends, saying I was ignoring his boundaries and not letting him do what wants to do (be alone). Then was mad again that he wanted to go somewhere around even MORE people, and I didn’t want to go with him. I let him be alone like he wanted, and he’s mad about that too.
The dumbest argument I was ever in was over alphabetizing yogurt cups. Ex ate them, not me. I told him to do it if that’s what he wanted. While he was away on a work trip I moved the offending yogurt cups to the top shelf where he could see them( his reason for alphabetizing was he didn’t know what he was grabbing). Apparently, refrigerator law states the top shelf is not to be used for yogurt cups. I’ve never seen someone blow a gasket so completely. I knew then I was divorcing him.
Sitting next to a guy in class. It was assigned seating.
Going to get milk 😆 We were in a conversation and I started walking towards the kitchen. My partner asked what I was doing and I told him I was going to get milk. He seemed hurt and questioned me about it. I simply repeated that I was going to get milk and pointed to the glass in my hand. It took him a second. He literally thought I was gonna walk out in the middle of the conversation and drive to the store to get milk lol. One of the funniest misunderstandings in our relationship
For putting a 6 pack of diet soda in the grocery basket he insisted he hold for me.
Dumbest thing my ex got angry with me for was my toothbrush touched his toothbrush and when he went to brush his teeth he felt his was wet and broke the bedroom door off it’s hinges because he thought I used his toothbrush as some way to act out or something idk
I had to physically get out of bed and show him how my wet toothbrush had simply leaned onto his making his slightly wet too because they were in the same holder
My fiancé and I argue all the time about hypothetical situations. FOR EXAMPLE, what we would do if one of us was being attacked by a bear or what we would do if we won a million dollars or if we lived in a van where we would go and how we would make money and the cost of living in this hypothetical made up life.
My wife dreamt that I locked her in a buffet that only served beets and I made her eat them before I would let her out. This was while we were dating. Wouldn’t talk to me for two days.
He got mad at me and a huge fight broke out after I asked which class of magic cards he likes.
Yeah no that’s it. And there’s no like missing context there. I asked him and he refused to tell me
For washing his sons sheets after he peed the bed. He just let him sleep in the same sheets full of pee week after week and didn’t bother changing them because “he’d just pee them again”. No mattress protector, no clean up process.
Like seriously, your mad at me for cleaning up your son’s pee? Wasn’t exactly the hilight of my day LOL.
Good news is his son now uses pull-ups and has a mattress protector.
He told me I was shrinking his clothes and not to wash them anymore.
2 weeks later he told me I was not shrinking his clothes but he had gained a little bit of weight 🙄
Not him, but me
I had a dream he cheated on me with his ex wife. Didn’t talk to him for like 3 days because every time I thought about it I started sobbing.
he was eating an ice cream cone too loudly. To be fair with this one – I had a summer cold (which almost everyone can agree is the worst), I was 7 weeks pregnant with my first child, and my doctor had told me to avoid all OTC medication until the 2nd trimester. I had JUST fallen asleep, and he was slurping and crunching while playing on his computer in the same room and raiding with friends. I sat up and angrily said “WHAT. ARE. YOU. EATING?” and he replied sheepishly “an ice cream cone?” to which I responded “GET. OUT.” and threw a pillow at him as he walked out the door, followed up with “you better not come back till you’re done!”
Maybe that one was justified?
Not me, but my mother. The other day, my mom was in a lot of pain due to an intestinal colic and could not get up to do anything. I was assisting her to ease the pain. My dad came home as early as usual and asked where dinner was. My mom, still visibly in pain, said she became ill but would make dinner in a few moments when she could find the energy to get up from bed. My dad just said to forget it and that he’ll find dinner elsewhere. He didn’t even ask if she or I wanted anything nor did he even offer to bring her to the hospital if the pain didn’t alleviate by the next few hours.
Thankfully, the colic was over, and she was able to walk again that same evening.
When he came back, he went to bed angry that night and did not peep from his room.
The next morning, he only asked, “Are you better now?” 🙃
When my daughter was a baby (2011) I worked Sunday-Thursday. My ex-husband had to watch our daughter on Sundays. Other than that day he rarely did anything with her or for her (unless we were in public, then he was super dad).
I was a claims adjuster at GEICO and we couldn’t have our cell phones on out on our desk and we did not have direct lines at work. You could call our manager and she could transfer you directly to us if there was an emergency. He literally called my manager at work to yell at me because the diaper holder was “only half full”. Mind you, half full meant there were probably 20 diapers in it and the diaper holder hung on the changing table that was right next to the closet where there were several full boxes of diapers.
It was so embarrassing and so ridiculous for him to call me about something so stupid. He told me I was a terrible mom who was too lazy to even fill the diaper holder, on my company’s phone line, which is always recorded.
One time when we were dating and long distance, I was eating a bowl of alphabet spaghettios and on a plate spelled out “(his name) is a butt” and sent it to him. He called me really mad asking how I would like it if he called me a butt. Then I couldn’t stop laughing at how dumb and absurd it was, which upset him more.
10 years later, we laugh about it together 😂
He called bees “Flying Assholes” and I laughed…
I came home from work and my wife asked me why I used a whole can of tuna for my lunch sandwich. I replied that work was busy and needed the energy… she said we need to tighten our budget and save money.
we argue over my homemade tuna sandwich then she tells me that she got a speeding ticket.
Not my SO anymore. My ex used to blame me when it rained (or not) on weekends. If it rained, he yelled at me because he wanted to mow the lawn. If it didn’t, he complained because now he had to mow the lawn. Didn’t take long to realize he just wanted an excuse to yell at me.
My husband has a gigantic bull elk on the wall in his study. Our first Christmas I decided I would decorate him with a Santa hat and scarf. He loved the hat but the scarf was apparently too far. According to my husband, it emasculated him. Male elk don’t wear scarves. 🙄 10 years later we are still happily married and it remains one of our biggest fights.
My ex spent money like it expired, I didn’t have access to the bank account nor a car so whenever the money was gone that I couldn’t have possibly spent it was:
“Well if you had a job we wouldn’t be out of money!”
I wanted to get a job so I could have money for groceries or other essential items when he spent it all on something stupid. So after I applied for jobs it was:
“So you want to be like my parents?! They work opposite shifts and never see each other!!!”
So then I told him to pick whatever he was mad about and write it down because I can’t keep track.
Maybe not the dumbest but the most recent. I told my husband I needed him to open a jar for me and he replied “need? You NEED me to do it? Or ‘can you open the jar please?’”
I told him I do NEED him to do it because I can’t do it myself and that my tone was nice, my intent was good and I was not demanding it.
He went on a tangent about there being a difference between “can you please do this” and “I need you to do this.” As a former therapist where I specialized in teaching non-verbal children how to speak, I have always been very vocal about what a useless filler word “please” is – so long as your intent is good and you are polite.
Anyways, I told him tomorrow when he comes home from work I’ll need him to ask politely for a plate of food. He told me it’s different because I’m expecting him to open the jar for me and I asked him “are you not expecting me to serve you a meal after work?”
According to him I’m splitting hairs.
I got a new job after he had been carrying the financial load for over a year. I now make more money than him. For my first paycheck, I arranged an event for him that he has been wanting to do for years and hasn’t had the money to do (as a surprise and thank you for all he has done for me to get me this far). I told him the time and date to be ready but not what the event was.
He flopped the whole thing that morning. Didn’t get up on time, took his time not getting ready. I texted him asking “are we not going?” and he didn’t reply. I got nothing. And we live together. When I finally went upstairs to ask what was going on, he says “I let my body wake me up,” “It’s my shower day,” and “I’m saving you money.” I kept asking him why he wouldn’t get ready and he said he was going into work early and not dealing with this. Told me to get a refund (it’s not refundable).
This sparked a huge argument. Lot’s of things were said back and forth and the kicker here was “Your just getting cocky because you don’t need me anymore.” He claims I’m going to leave him. He also told me “I never needed you” and that he realized in this last year that all I was good at was “cooking and decorating a house.”
That was this morning. So now, I am writing this from the spare bedroom. Cheers to bad decisions.
I told my ex that I saw a huge bird of some kind in the park, maybe a hawk or a falcon, and I was trying to figure out what it was but none of the bird book pictures looked right, and they said “maybe it was a sparrow?” And I laughed because I thought they were joking and they got sooooo mad because apparently they were dead serious and had no idea that sparrows are the tiny brown birds you see everywhere. They “only knew about sparrows from the Spearow Pokémon and those are big,” so clearly I was a giant asshole for thinking they were poking fun 😐
A previous person I was dating called me and asked what I was doing. I wasn’t doing anything important at the moment, just gaming a little, so I said “nothing really”. She came down to my dorm room and then got mad that I was actually “doing something”. I told her it was ridiculous to think that when I said nothing it didn’t mean I was literally staring at a wall blankly. She broke up with me and told her parents I was a liar. We got back together after I convinced her how ridiculous and stupid an idea it was
He died. I am still not very happy with him about it.
I asked him to spend more time with me, after we’d been apart for three months. He got annoyed at me and sent me a passive-aggressive message basically saying “I’m sorry I’m not meeting your needs.” thereby implying that I should find someone else who will put up with my neediness.
Except I don’t think it’s “needy” to want to see your partner once in a blue moon. Isn’t that the bare minimum, for any relationship??
My dad one night out of the blue asked my mom Why she always made chocolate chip cookies and never some other kind. It’s always chocolate chip! Nothing else! I fucking hate chocolate chip cookies! My parents had been married 32 years at this point. In Mom’s defense she did bake others, just not as often. So mom rather sarcasticly says “well now, just what kind of cookies would you like mister? The oven is still warm.” Peanut Butter, I like peanut butter cookies. He says. Still the funniest argument between my parents we’ve seen. We still laugh anytime we see peanut butter cookies somewhere.
One time I got mad at him because he got me a 4 piece chicken McNuggets instead of a 6 piece. I got out of the car and sat on the curb fuming for like 20 minutes. It turned out that I was pregnant and we just didn’t know it yet lol.
He INSISTED that curtains should hang with the pattern facing outward so it was visible to people passing by.
My wife is chill as fuck, I probably don’t deserve her.
He thought I had the grocery list in my purse, I knew it was in his pocket. I told him it was in his pocket.. he refused to check his pocket. The grocery list was in his pocket…
I recycled a box that had been in the way for 2 years. Suddenly became the most important box ever and an example of why I can’t be trusted because I always throw away their shit…..
A dream she had in which I had cheated on her. She was livid.
“Look. I know this is stupid. Just let me get over it. In my head you fucking cheated on me and I’m fucking mad at you. I’m sorry.”
Needing extra reassurance after he cheated
Phone conversation, she is monosyllabic. Finally I asked her how she was feeling, and she said “Fine.” Very short, brusque, obviously upset.
So I said “Mm-hmm, you sound fine,” without even thinking about it. I’ve said this and had it said to me in a gentle, teasing way before – usually the person laughs a little and then says “Well, this thing happened at work …” or “I’m sorry, I just feel awful today” or whatever.
Not this time. She hit the fucking roof. I felt like someone in a disaster movie running and cowering while lava rains down on their head. I don’t even remember what was wrong originally, because very quickly that lense switched over to me.
I fucking hate when people put cups with multiple components back together wet. This is a legit offense
There was a message I hadn’t bothered opening. He got angry and said I was cheating on him. The message was from him. He was jealous of himself.
When we were in college, he came to pick me up on campus after a football game. The line of cars took too long. He didn’t speak to me for the rest of the evening.
My sister arrived for a visit right when our 2 year old was supposed to go down for a nap, and he was mad that their arrival would mess up her nap time. My sister happily put her down for a nap with no problems, and then my sister and I visited. He made us all so uncomfortable with his silent treatment while we were visiting that my sister said something to me afterward.
He didn’t like how my coworkers and I were joking with each other at a work event. I got the silent treatment for 3 weeks for that one.
My ex was mad because I embarrassed him by changing my flat tire. He said I made him look like less of a man to everyone because he didn’t know how to change one but I did. But didn’t want to change it when I offered to tell him how if he wanted to give it a shot.
Funnily enough, dishes.
He can’t be fucking bothered enough to ever do them right. And by right, I mean 1. Without leaving food on dishes 2. Without leaving dishes in the sink
I mean the dude “does dishes” but it’s legit just whatever we need to use for the night while the sink stays full of dishes. So he’ll “do dishes” constantly but they’re never done.
I try bringing up to him and he goes and wails about how my way isn’t the only way/im never satisfied.
Grown ass man angry for being called out over not having the ability to clean a dish properly. Smfh.
My husband always takes the first sip of any canned beverage he gets from the fridge for me. It used to annoy me, but I learned to pick my battles. One day he was on the phone but still asked if I wanted a drink because he was getting one. Apparently the phone call got a lot more interesting and he sat both cans on the counter. I went up to the counter, opened one of the cans, took the first sip in like 20 years and handed it to him. He was seriously aggravated for the rest of the evening until I asked if something had happened on the phone call that pissed him off because I knew he wasn’t a big enough baby to be mad I opened his drink and took the first sip. He did go get me another drink and drink the first sip, though.
I told my wife that I’ll do the dishes from now on because she leaves them all greasy and I have to re-do them anyway. She went ballistic and did her best to get into a huge fight about it. I just laughed and said she might be the only woman in the world who would argue because her husband insisted on doing the dishes. It was such a blow to her ego,I think she’s still mad about it.
Also not a partner but my dad LOST HIS MIND once when I put a bunch of groceries in the EMPTY fridge. He claimed it was costing more electricity for the fridge to run with my food in it????
I have one that still baffles me, six-plus years later. We almost never argue but this one confused me.
I bought blinds for my sewing room. Five windows. Five blinds. They are all the same, except that the windows were very slightly different widths, so I had measured each and labeled them 1-5 in the notes so I would know which went with which window. Otherwise the blinds are identical – same length, same style, same color.
They arrive and I ask my husband to help me put them up. I point out the note on each blind that shows which number window it goes to and indicate which window I’d started counting with.
He asks me, “What’s the difference?”
I said, “Just the width; they’re almost the same but the width is a little different on each one.”
He says, “No, what’s the difference.”
I say, “….the width? That’s it. That’s the only difference.”
He starts getting impatient. “NO. What. Is. The. Difference.”
I start getting impatient back. “The width. The width is the only difference. That’s it.”
He gets mad and throws up his hands, “That’s not what I’m asking!”
I get mad back, “Well I don’t know what the hell you’re asking, try using different words!!”
He just tells me, “NEVERMIND, let’s just put these up.”
So we put the blinds up (on the proper windows), he’s cranky the whole time, and he never did explain what he was on about.
Six years later and I still have no idea. And I know if I ask now he won’t remember. It’s one of life’s little mysteries!
My phone was plugged up to charge in another room while I was giving our 2 toddlers a bath. During this time, my husband was at work and apparently got stung by a bee. He calls me. Once, twice, 3x. Obviously I didn’t hear it. When I got a chance to get my phone and call him back, he really was mad saying “you literally don’t care at all that I got stung by a bee. I am allergic this is serious” even after I explained my phone was in another room and I was busy at the moment. Me missing the calls meant “I don’t care that he was having an allergic reaction.” Still to this day I tell him how unreasonable this was lol. And to add- he was already on the way to urgent care. Being driven by his boss personally. So he wasn’t just laying out there left to die. Drama king.
I swear 90% of these comments are from people who need to leave their abusive relationships.
Spouse is angry with me now because I told him he needs to learn our toddler’s cues. Story: toddler is crying in the back because he doesn’t want to go home yet (he’s exhausted, but likes to push his limits) so hubby is egging him on by saying, “but you’ve had a full day of fun and it’s time to go home, toddler screams “no! I don’t want to go home”, hubby continues to tell him he’s had enough fun for the day, and this just makes our toddler scream louder, at this point I had enough and say, “we’re not going home yet, we’re just going for a drive” (true, we still needed 30 mins to get home). Toddler calms down immediately, so I turn to husband and say, you need to pick up on his cues, he’s tired, and acting out.
He said i was mean, and now we’re not on speaking terms
