Not sure where to start, or end. WAW?

I forgot to mention something happened at dinner last night that really pissed me off.

We were making dinner together (I've never made dinner in the past, mostly because I'm a sucky cook). Her phone rang and it was her girlfriend and mutual friend of ours that's been having some problems. She went out on the back porch to talk to her, and left me with the food halfway cooked. Well, I continued to cook!

When she came back in, it was nearly done, just some finishing touches needed to be done. She grabbed a spoon out of the drawer and went to stirring the food - kind of like completely taking over the task I was doing. It made me angry, and made me feel like she was belittling me right then and there because she was "better" at the task.

I asked her what she was doing. She said, "You always use the wrong spoon on this pot. The one you are using is way too hard and can scratch the pot. I tell you that every single time!"

What the F! I'm not a master cook here! I was doing my best! I made the whole meal there, while she jabbed on the phone, then she has the nerves to tell me I did it wrong? Angry!

So, I tell her, "You know, I don't like it when you come and take over a task like this from me. I was doing this myself, and then you came in and took it all over. That makes me feel like I can't contribute to this family, and it makes me feel belittled."

"Well if you wouldn't have used the wrong spoon then maybe I wouldn't have to do that," she said.

I wanted to knock the [censored] out of her right then and there. I swear. Lucky, I'm not a fighter. I told her, "Do not invalidate my feelings. I was trying to tell you how I felt."

She just gave me a laughable look at my words and continued on.

I walked away before I blew up.

That's just the kind of stuff I've been dealing with our entire M. If she thinks she can do something better, she just takes over and moves me out of the way. She even read Mars/Venus (well, Audiotape) and that's one of the KEY things you don't do! Ugh.

Just had to vent.
