-You mentioned he was acting differently than you're used to. This could be because getting blamed for something that isn't your fault (if he had discussed shopping on Monday with you before and you forgot) can be a very negative thing for some people. I know it is for me, partly due to my getting blamed repeatedly as a child for things my little sister would do, to the point where she would set me up to get in trouble knowing that Mom wouldn't believe me if I tried to fight it. Basically getting blamed for something I didn't do brings back all that mental b.s. and when that happens I'm not in a submissive mindset, I'm my mother's daughter getting unjustly punished. -That he broke down and cried like that and then said he was sorry and was grateful to sleep on the floor makes me a little worried too. I'm not there, I don't know all the facts, and even then I can't pass judgement on anyone else so this is just me talking about my past experiences. I was in an abusive relationship before where I went through a cycle of something similar. My girlfriend would blame her problems on me, I'd try and defend myself, she'd start going off about everything she hated about me, yelling and throwing things and sometimes threatening me with violence. Since at the time I had no one else in my life to go to, it would crush me to have my lover so angry and hurtful towards me. I'd sob and cry, she'd yell more, until I just gave in to whatever she wanted. When she stopped being angry at me I was so grateful that I convinced myself I was wrong for ever disagreeing with her. This went on for four years, repeating over and over again until I finally realize what was happening and got out of that relationship. I'm not saying that this has anything to do with your relationship, but I am thinking that your husband was feeling much as I did in that situation - just grateful that you're not angry with him and happy to take the blame if it means he doesn't have to see you like that ever again. I'd suggest talking to him about it and trying to remember in the future to not take your anger out on him in that way. Again, just suggestions and my two cents. Feel free to disregard.
