I got my period this morning.

Blood got on the sheets and on our (relatively new) expensive mattress.

My husband flipped out and got upset. He basically threw a fit, when it was merely an accident I couldn't help.

He said I've ruined the mattress (when it can be cleaned), it's under warranty, and now we can never return it if we need to. He basically made me feel like total CRAP, over something that was an accident. I didn't know when my period would arrive, or on which day.

As it is, I cleaned and the stains came out.

I didn't lose it when he broke our new glass geranium, nor did I make him feel like crap over breaking it by accident. I was very compassionate towards him and made sure to not blame him or get upset.

But he did the opposite. He got upset, he indirectly blamed me, and as a result, I feel like crap.

A lot of the time, things are fine, but sometimes, when this type of crap happens, I think about leaving him.

I am mainly venting because I'm upset. It's always the blame game with him, and I am always the one to blame for everything.

I don't know how to work with that. I tell him "why does it always have to be about blame?" That's childish. He doesn't ever want to take responsibility for HIS role in things.

And because I got upset over his reaction to the blood on the sheets? He said, "now you're going to ruin the whole weekend because you're angry at me?"

Clearly I cannot be angry or react to him. He's allowed to blow up, but I cannot get upset over his poor behavior.

He left for work, and I now feel like being distant with him. I don't even want to message him today.
