Me: works rideshare on my " off day" today. Me: Takes in car for maintenance on my off day. Me: asks hubby along to do grocery shopping. Me: cleans kitchen, cooks dinner and puts away tons of groceries. Me: finds spoiled milk gallon nearly half full in cupboard where dry goods are kept. Me: sees husband and calmly asks him to take a look at what I see there. Husband: Sees dissapointment in my face and eyes at his continued carelessness. I did not speak a word. He says, " wow thats not good", pours out the clumped milk and calmly goes up to his room.
Husband: Comes back down a few min later and says that I cause him daily panic and he will not be eating the food which I have cooked for us because I am a panic inducing tyrant.

@mysteryespresso I can't. Me repeatedly telling him these things is causing him " stress". He says that I complain too much and he can't stand it that he is now jumpy
@mysteryespresso Hmmm if I communicate but the person keeps treating each new careless action as an unrelated mistake and he prefers not to dwell on anything then I don't think that my communication style can correct the core problem which is my goal.
