I don't know if I'm late with my reply, just a thought: do you think you can try to laugh it off? It would work with my H... I've done it a couple of times when he expected more drama, and I'd just start laughing (even though it wasn't a laughing matter for me) and put him completely off arguing.
Good luck, (((((Purple))))!
