So which Christmas song needs to be banned?

Hi all, I guess I just needed to vent but also would like your opinion. So it started raining pretty hard while we were out walking (we brought an umbrella though), and I started walking faster so that we can get back home quicker. He got mad. Ok so I slowed down so he can shield me from the rain with the umbrella he held.

Then when we were about to cross the street, I hurried again as to avoid the car (that’s still a distance away) I see coming up to the crossing. He then yelled at me and people were staring. I think he felt embarrassed so he got quiet. I was a bit shocked but I tried to stay composed, I kept my distance from him but tried to act normal overall at the restaurant. I do feel a bit scared and felt like he overreacted, I know he was probably frustrated because I was walking too fast… but what do you think?
