My husband and I were watching a movie, and I realized that something was coming on tv shortly and I wanted to check it out. I asked my husband for the tv remote, but he decided to change the channel instead of just passing the remote to me. I asked him why he wouldn't give the remote to me, he then asked me why do i have to give you remote? After the bickering he told me that he did that just to see if I would let him change the channel or if I would get fussy about not getting the TV remote myself. Why would he cause this arguement when we were having a nice time? What was he trying to do or prove?

Well, I think he was indeed trying to test you, to see how submissive or demanding you would be. I think it's definitely a sign of something bigger going on in his brain. If he makes it into a pattern, causing fights over nothing, then I would recommend counseling.

where is the patients my dear! You should have just waited a few minutes and if he didn't pass it up..snatch it and hit him upside the dome with it and say "hey did you hear me ask for the remote" then laugh it off...Sometime we as women take things to far for no reason because of control issue we possess at time..
Take it easy sis!

I think you are the one causing conflict, as you did get to watch what you wanted, but that wasn't good enough because you had to have the remote as well.

There something else going on other than the fighting over the remote. Have you tried to talk to him about it?

Yeah, he was being a jerk about something silly, so, there is probably something else going on. Talk to him when you are not in the middle of a quarrel and just ask him if something is bothering him.

something is on his mind and he may also be pushing your buttons just because he can to alleviate his own troubles of the day. Weird how that happens--how a person takes out their anger on someone else who they feel they can and feel better about it regardless of their feelings. I would just ignore the situation and do something on my own and let him steam. If he complained later about it, then I'd find out what his problem is and tell him to spit it out already because it's upsetting you.

one he was just being an ****** two maybe he wanted to start something to see how far you would take it so that can give him a reason to go out and do something stupid and you know by stupid right if he continues to do this than watch him carefully he may be cheating and did a excuse to cheat

He is being a jerk. He must be having some issues with you other than tv.

i guess he wanted to feel like he was in control. sounds stupid but we all get a bit hellish at times just for the hell of it! don't worry about it. it's the same when we say we have a headache i guess?

it sounds to me that it's a control issue and that he wants to be in charge.
