"I didn't hear what happened"

This morning my BS was being very disrespecful to me. I told him off. He hasn't been doing things he's been asked to do. And, I'm frustrated with him as he's been an real *$$ lately to me. (I'm sure it's because I'm mom and I'm safe to let out his feelings but he could just tell me about it rather than lash out.)

I told DH that BS was being disrespectful. About a minute later BS walked through the room. DH said nothing.

DH upset with me

He is barely talking to me today. Because I am not fully onboard with a major renovation project that I HAD been asking for for years. He put up a huge fight and dug in his heels years ago. He made the decision that we would not to do it without me. Suddenly he’s ready to do it, has it all planned out, and I have no say in how it gets done. I mean he told me and surprised me with the plan but I don’t want it any more and I had a suggestion, a thing I would want if it was done, but that got shot down. He’s pissed. But I’ve accommodated things differently and it’s just not necessary  

I have no trust

Recently, like the last four weeks, DH has been doing things differently. He told off skids in front of me, held them to some things, got me decent gifts, got me a surprise gift, made sure DS got me a nice xmas gift, and has reversed a seven-year, heals-dug-in, no-way-in-hell stance he took about a change to the house. In the past the only reason he changed his tune was when someone else, not me, said the same thing I did. He would listen to others, not me.

Do you think your DH was not ready to be remarried?

DH was divorced nine years go and I was divorced thirteen years ago, and we met nine months after his divorce and he had already gone through one relationship in those months. We've been married for seven years. So I had almost five years (and no serious relationships) before I met DH and he had nine months before he met me and had had a serious relationship fast that imploded.

Someone got a clue!

Yesterday morning I had to do a chore that OSS was supposed to do. DH asked what I was doing and I told him and also said to tell OSS "thanks for nothing." (Yes, I said that. It affected me. I am me. I get to say what I feel.)  Apparently DH had told OSS three times to do it the night before. And, DH texted OSS right after I said the "nothing" comment to tell him that I had had to do the chore.

Every couple of days, for as long as we've been married, there's usually something that DH or I am unsure about. Trivial things, like if my BS is going to eat one or two dinners (he is in sports and is constantly hungry), or which pet barfed. I usually say I'll bet DH and the bet is always small like a single dime or loser has to do a pet chore. And it's 50/50 whether I say what it is that I bet or I ask him what his guess so I take the opposite/other. So it's not like I know and I'm setting him up.

Will this deed go unpunished?

Background: since the skids, BS and DH have barely been able to remember much less put in effort toward me for a holiday I have decided to do the same. So I have said nothing to them about presents for anyone. I gave BS one reminder but no ideas since I do have an agreement with XH that if an ex is not married/living with someone then the other ex helps remind BS about important holidays since there isn’t another person to do it.
