Being a newlywed is an exciting time, but the first big quarrel is just around the corner. When questioned with her benign self-soothing habit, a young wife hit back… perhaps a little too harshly. Read the whole story to know what happened between this husband and wife and do you think the wife’s statement towards her husband?

So I (23f) got married to my husband (28m) May 14th. A few months ago he lost his job due to merging and hasn’t gotten a job since so I pay all the bills. It doesn’t really bother me, as we live in a house I own that I inherited from my grandmother.
A little backstory: I like eating in my bathtub. I had a rough childhood and the only good memories I have are in the safety of my tub so every now and then I will take a bath and have a drink and a snack, it’s very comforting. I know it’s strange but trauma does weird sh*t to you. I never leave any trash or waste or anything in the bathroom and he doesn’t remember I do it unless he walks in on me.
I had a particularly rough day at work last night so when I got home I poured myself a glass of wine, grabbed a snack and went to take a nice relaxing bath when my husband comes in and takes my wine and snacks and tells me I can’t eat in the bathroom anymore and “Now that we’re married, you’re going to have to change this nasty habit of yours.”
I laughed at him thinking he was joking but when he started walking out I told him he can’t dictate what I do and to give me my stuff back because I want to relax.
He said “I won’t allow this nasty habit in my home.” This is where I may be the as*hole because I looked at him and said “Your house? Let’s make a deal, you can dictate where I eat when you pay all the bills.” Grabbed my wine glass from him and walked away.
Now he’s giving me the cold shoulder and hasn’t said a word to me since last night. Did I go too far here?
More context: he hasn’t been looking for a job. He is trying to become a twitch streamer so he does that all day.
