Today DH snapped at me because I asked him if he was absolutely sure he didn't throw away my grocery list. It's not like I would have been that mad, it's just a list I can re-write, but since DH has a habit of throwing away things of mine left on the counter that are not yet trash, I wanted him to take pause and try to remember if he had recently done a counter sweep.
Anyway, he snapped at me hatefully, I forgot what he said, but it was his tone, not his words that stung. As if the idea that he would throw something away and forget about it is ludicrous, even though I can recall pulling valuable things out of the trash numerous times, including an unused $50 giftcard once. He reacted as if I was accusing him a being liar. As if I would dare! I just wanted to make sure because I know how he is, I know he forgets and I accept this. I wasn't asking him in a mean way, but somehow the conversation turned ugly.
Can't win.

It sounds as though he knew he had done it, and knew he was a liar and didn't like the guilt associated with his actions.
