Why are we blamed if we tell the truth?

I can tell I'm starting to escalate. Him going to the couch is making me feel rejected and hurt. I tried to talk with him to calm down the situation, but we're not effectively communicating right now.

He wouldn't even stop playing on the internet when I was trying to discuss things regarding the kids. The comments are just rude which is frustrating because we had 3 days of neutral/good times. The whole nonsense this morning seems to have started because of something petty. I didn't want him to install certain software on my laptop and asked him 10 times to please stop installing stuff. He has his own laptops that he can do whatever to.

Ugh, I know I'm starting to spiral. I can't feel the frustration building up. I haven't said anything outwardly yet, but I can tell that I need to distract myself. Unfortunately, nothing feels like it would work right now. I also feel like an idiot for ranting to complete strangers.
