Your previous post (copied below) really resonated for me:
"I made a comment that he purchased dark red sheets. I started to laugh and said you know every set of sheets you have purchased in the past has been the same color. I didn't see anything wrong with that comment. Well he responded by rolling his eyes and saying that I criticize every thing he does. No, I was just making a comment on the color and he said I am sorry, it's just me. I said ok and left it at that and moved on."
This is absolutely to the script my H is working from - especially the eye-rolling!
Just about everything I say, he interprets as a criticism. Occasionally, he will apologise for 'just being grumpy bast...d' or for 'biting my head off' but, more often than not, he sticks to his line that I criticise everything he does.
It's very hard to be around them at all when they are in this phase. My H just gets more and more irritated.
Hope you can find some way of coping with the constant stress. Thinking of you, NLW
