AITAH- My husband blamed me for mis-measuring our new Curtains
So my husband and I have just moved into a new home and we were hanging out curtains up. I had worked all day and mowed the tall wet grass at our old house and finished loading our stuff so I was sitting watching which he said was fine. He phased me to help measure for the rod placement. I told him it was 109-110 inches on the tape. He says cool proceeds to hang them. Fast forward to the actual curtain.. it was too short( about 2 inches off the floor). My husband flips an and asked me if I ordered the wrong size cause I must have. Guess what, correct size ordered. He’s still not satisfied so he is slamming the rod around and yelling about how I can fix it myself then and how I never hep around the house and it’s always on him. I reassured him that we could take a step back and regroup and move them. He didn’t like that cause it would leave holes. I said it will hardly be noticeable because of our tall ceiling. And we could fill and patch it if needed. Nope not happening. I step outside because he truly is hurting my feeling at this point. As I walk back in he is storming towards the window with the rod and almost hits me directly in the face. Now I know he was not trying to hit me but the anger he was expressing over curtains was wild. I told him to leave it and I’ll take care of it tomorrow cause now I’m done and need to decompress. He still isn’t talking to me and it’s noon the next day.
To add: the curtains are 108inches and I told him the tape read 109-110 so if he put it there of course they would be a little off. But he didn’t want to hear that and just proceeded to tell me I’m wrong.
I just need to know if I’m overthinking this or if I should be concerned.
