No offense, but I think you were both being a bit ridiculous.
It sounds like neither of you know when to quit.
You're still fighting over a news story even today.
It sounds to me like you're in a pattern.
He does things you don't want him to do and then you light into him. And drag it out.
You both probably have unresolved resentments.
Part of the problem could be that you have at least 10 years worth of these patterns and they're not going to change over night.
Sometimes, you have to let things slide.
Seriously.
Your husband thought you were overreacting. He could have let that slide.
You were sick of him not listening to you or respecting your boundaries.
You could have let it slide when he huffed off and said he just wouldn't share things with you anymore.
What would have been wrong with stepping away from each other, taking a time out, and letting things cool down as opposed to dragging it on and on?
There is an art to talking about things when you've cooled down.
It's not about who is right and who is wrong.
That just continues the argument if someone has to "win".
It's okay not to be in sync at the exact same moment.
I might be in the minority, but as for the snoring....I wouldn't have freaked.
I snore. Now, I downright deny it because it isn't exactly dainty or anything, but I know for a fact that I do. Denying it is kind of a family joke.
My son recorded me snoring with his phone and took it to school and shared it with his friends.
Great.
Was I mad? NO.
I didn't know about it until after the fact and I did try to deny that it was even me....but I knew better.
14 year olds were laughing about my son recording me snoring.
Big deal.
They've heard it in person during a million sleepovers at my house since they were in kindergarten.
I'm lucky they didn't put it on youtube.
Okay....I would have killed him for that.
But.....
I think you both need to learn how to communicate better.
He wanted to share something.
You didn't want to listen.
He didn't want to listen to you not wanting to listen.
So...apparently a bunch of fighting and yelling ensued.
You STILL didn't listen to each other.
It doesn't have to be either/or all the time.
Compromise can take a lot of work.
Not everything that seems disrespectful is a deliberate means of betrayal.
I have mentioned this before and I learned it in therapy with my husband.
It's a listening excercise.
Each person gets 5 minutes of completely uninterrupted time to speak.
The other person cannot interject or argue.
At the end of the 5 minutes, the "listening" person repeats what they heard the other person say. Not COMMENT, but repeat.
Then, it's the other person's turn to speak, uninterrupted.
It's not as easy as it sounds, but it can be very validating and build an awareness as to how much or how little you actually listen to each other.
Give it a try.
The other rule is that you can't fight about what was said during each other's time. It's not about that. It's about expressing and being heard.
It's about LISTENING.
Just my opinion.
(*Dang, Riley. Really? Ewwwww.)
