So last night I was rushing about sorting things out after dinner, at the end of a long week at work, bit knackered and harassed. I was going out to the car to get some treats I’d bought the DCs and DH said, in a flirty way, as I passed him, “any treats for me?” I said no (I would have thought it was pretty obvious I wasn’t in the mood for any banter), then he reached out and grabbed my boob, which really pissed me off so I shouted at him “no DH don’t do that” and went off out to the car (kids were in another room and I don’t think overheard). It was obvious I was annoyed, but I wasn’t going to fall out with him or anything, I just reacted in the heat of the moment.
When I came back in he had gone to bed without a word (7pm) and now hasn’t spoken to me or spent any time with me and DCs for over 24 hours, even after I apologised twice for snapping at him.
This is shit behaviour from him isn’t it? I’m so upset that he thinks this is a proportionate response and I’m just supposed to wait until he’s speaking to me again and then he will act like nothing has happened. He’s got form for sulking but he had been better recently. I don’t know what to do about it. Wait until he’s speaking to me again and then tell him I think his response was unacceptable? But I’m certain based on previous experience he won’t apologise so then what?
