We had a small spat earlier tonight, over something really dumb. I'm a horrible parallel parker and was trying to get into a space coming home from picking up Chinese. Right off the bat DH offered to do it and, when my pride flared up and I refused, kept trying to "help" me until finally I threw the car in park and got out and let him do it. When we got inside he asked if I was mad at him, I told him I was mad at myself for failing, and he said that he figured that would be the end result so he'd tried to take it over from the start.

What he meant was it was dark, raining and a tight spot, and he's an excellent parallel parker and didn't want me to stress out about it. What I heard was "I had no faith to start with that you'd be able to park the car there, and assumed you'd fail." So I was pissed, and then he got mad and thought I was putting undue blame on him. (Like I said, dumb).

As far as fights go it was more of a snappish spat, and ended within a few minutes after we both took a breath and took turns explaining what we meant/perceived and then both apologized, but I can count on one hand the number of times we've fought.

When was the last time you and your SO had a fight? Was it over a silly misunderstanding? Are you a good parallel parker?
