Is sulking ever induced?

Just having a moment here. Here I have been thinking that I can not go rest of my days with DP as his huge o sulks drain the life out of me when I have really thought, maybe I did induce The Almighty Sulk. I did say a week ago that I was drained by his sister's shit stirring ways and him not putting boundaries in place to prevent this and maybe this is no wonder that he has not spoken to me in 7 days and nights and still counting.

Maybe these sulks over the years have been triggered by my confrontational behaviour and I should know that not speaking is therefore reasonable due to my unreasonableness. ]

Is sulking ever reasonable at all due to mitigating circumstances? Oh and a bit of binge drinking.? A.I.B U for not just keeping peace, put up shut up, therefore inciting the need for his solitude, alcohol and remaining mute going into week 2?

He has never said where he disappears during sulk. Is this unreasonable of me to wander? Maybe I am very dislikeable and do not know myself due to the impact of sulks but I should be questioning what are my triggers to him? Holy cow it could have been me all this time when I thought that he was being unreasonable?

Sulking is his choice. I certainly don't pander to my 5 year old when she's got the hump so don't for your husband. It's a very childish attempt to control you.

I'd let the Incredible Sulk get on with it and plan my exit strategy.

Well, you’re unreasonable to think you’re forcing someone to sulk! When you say ‘disappear’, do you mean he literally vanishes for a week and you don’t know where he is, or metaphorically?

Please do not think you deserve this treatment- leave and get a happier life

How can someone not speak to their partner for 7 days straight? How is that even possible?

I'd leave him.
