Hi tearsofaclown
Personally I think this was the solution that most appealed to me
you could have let him vacuum that spot once he was finished!
I think all couples can get stuck in silly situations and mindsets, and sometimes even the best of us can behave badly or do stupid things that we later regret.
Please don't feel you have to act on any of the advice here - obviously you felt aggrieved enough to come here, but only you can really judge the severity of what happened.
