People on best behavior when wrong

I've noticed a tendency that my partner gets on

their best behavior when they realize that they have done something wrong and are apologetic and kind of guilt tripping me when I'm pissed off. For instance, they're overly nice, friendly, keeps this sad face e and

always home. Things I have always I asked of them to do which take them forever suddenly are done without even asking.

I feel like this is a mind game because their actions make me question if my reaction is too much or im overreacting about the issue that got me mad.

Isn't this a manipulation form of abuse?
