My SO has been very stressed out. When he is stressed out, he gets incredibly grumpy. I have tried doing all I can to relieve the stress, but he is mostly stressed because he needs to finish home renovations before he leaves for a trip next week.

I went to the store today while he was working on renovations. I came home and asked if he was free enough to carry in some groceries so I could feed our daughter (she is a baby), because she had just woken up. He got upset, and started huffing and puffing around and said, “Yeah, sure, babe.” So I just told him to forget it. I let my daughter sit in her car seat and I carried in the groceries.

I feed our daughter and I am walking into the kitchen to put away the groceries, and he asks for a glass of Gatorade. I guess I looked annoyed, and he flipped out. “Why did you fucking look at me like that?!” “Don’t worry. I will fucking do it. It was pointless to ask you. You are fucking pointless.” I said, “I am sorry, I just was holding the baby and was obviously heading to do something.” He said, “Oh, big fucking deal.”

So, I get his Gatorade as he goes outside. When he comes back in he is mad that I got it for him, stating he said he would get it. He slams the office door and continues working. I knock on the door about 15 mins later and ask if he would like the Gatorade, so it doesn’t go to waste. He says, “No thank you.”

He is literally not drinking it just to be a turd. I am just going to give him space, but I am getting so annoyed with being talked to this way, especially in front of my daughter. We were having a normal conversation two seconds before he flipped out.
