I just needed an outlet to vent anonymously, very frustrated at the moment.
BF hates to be wrong. He will argue his point to the death, even if his point is that the sky is green. That's one of the things I both love and hate about him. I love that he's passionate, but I hate that sometimes he can't see the other side of things.
Today he borrowed my car because his was in the shop. No problem, he dropped his car off at the shop, he hopped in the driver's seat of mine and dropped me off where I needed to go, and life carried on. When I came home he needed to go get his car, so we went out to mine to drive to the shop. We get in, and it won't start. After he searches around trying to figure out why, I ask him if he remembered to turn the lights off. He looks, and sure enough they are on. Then he goes into a rant about "why the hell would you have the lights on in the day? It was beeping at me when I got out, but I ignored it because I didn't think you would have had the lights on during the day. How are you going to fix this?"
...OK, so I can understand the logic about the lights not needing to be on during the day, but that's the way I was taught years ago, so it's a habit. I didn't think to mention it, because it's a habit. But really is it my fault that you ignored the car beeping at you?!
It's just so frustrating sometimes that his first instinct is to be defensive and that he's right.
Does anyone else have a SO like that?
