text: why does my husband of 3 years still start fights? i mean he will go and say something i dont like, to me just to get me angry or in a bad mood...he has even admitted this, he is 32 years old btw. he will antagonize me to the point where i just start screaming at him and he does it on purpose, i dont understand it. he actually likes to piss me off and cause me stress, i am 26. why does he do this??? sounds like he's pretty immature.  but you need to be the bigger person.  if you know he's doing it just to irritate you, then do your best to ignore him, or change the subject... or... in the middle of him being irritating, just ask him "why?"
