Has your SO ever gotten irrationally angry with you for trying to help them?

Asked by NaturalMineralWater (11303points) November 7th, 2009

I’d been unpacking boxes all day while my SO was at the gym and.. well.. who knows what else.. throwing away the trash, boxing up all the packing paper and breaking down the smaller boxes… I swept the house and the bathroom, fed the kids lunch and played with them during short breaks. I put what I could away but truth be told 97% of the stuff in our house is hers.

She comes home and the first thing she does is get hopping mad that her stuff is unpacked. She starts yelling at the kids and fuming that I had left some things out (because I was taking a quick break).
She flips out and tells me she wanted to unpack all the stuff herself and put it away .. finding a spot for each little thing as she went. There are only a couple of counters full of stuff I unpacked.. the rest is put away.

Am I being selfish, irrational, or crazy to be pissed off that all my work was for nothing? Should I have left the house a mess? I’m just beside myself right now.. Have you ever tried to help out only to have your SO turn on you?

If I’m not being fair I want to know. I’m just tired of these kinds of reactions from her. Did I do something wrong?
