Hi, feeling a bit desperate today. Yesterday I confronted my partner as I was worried he had invested in shares which were down a lot of money. He blew up and couldnt understand why I was worrying, it would all make good, he would still have money to pay the bills etc. Then he refused to talk anymore and went into a major sulk. He has hardly spoken to me since yesterday morning, only when we went out for pre- arranged dinner with friends when he was no different to normal.
I had first scan yesterday (7 weeks) and he then refused to come with me. I begged him to come and he eventually came but didnt say a thing the whole time. Its like he is punishing me..
I have read that when a partner gives you the silent treatment you should ignore them rather than pander to them but this is really difficult and upsetting.
This is probably about the second time this has happened but he came out of his sulk pretty quickly last time. The good thing is that we have already had one counselling session for other issues and more planned.
But how do I deal with his behaviour in the mean time? I actually really feel like shouting at him to shake him out of his stupid mood.
