in enjoying the peace and quiet?

[roadrunnerbeepbeep]

DP is in a sulk (not sure why) and has taken dd out for the day. I am 20 weeks pregnant, haven't been feeling great and am loving having the house to myself to potter around. Should I be feeling bad about this - or worrying about partner's infantile sulking??

Just enjoy and act like no sulking occurred when he comes back. Maybe he will want to talk about it later. It might have absolutely nothing to do with you.

Don't feel bad and don't worry.

A bit of a shame for him to be in a sulk on easter sunday, your dd may have wanted to spend the day with both of you. However if he's prone to this and you could do with the break just enjoy it! Potter around, magazine and cuppa (with easter egg) in the sunshine and relax, especially as you're pregnant! Hopefully he'll come back in a better mood and apologise.

Ah, men do tend to sulk.

Just ignore it, most likely nothing to do with you (unless you forgot to buy him an Easter egg).

Enjoy the quiet!

It's a shame not to be all the family
is he sulking because you couldn't agree on a place to go?

yep - he definitely has a sulking tendency. It has got better over time and now usually only lasts hours rather than days. It used to drive me nuts but I seem to care less these days - not sure that is a good sign! Am certainly going to take your advice though and relaaaaaxx!

I don't do sulking or huffing - it is the only way to stop it. Just ignore it but be happy to talk about whatever is bothering him if he does start talking.

Sulking is immature and not constructive at all. It is only an excusable trait if it is a tactic used to halt a fierce temper.

I hope he comes back having had a lovely time with dd and with a smile on his face. We all have bad days and can't always choose when they fall.

Has he come back? I hope all is well roadrunner

I hate sulky blokes. My ex often had sulky moods, I wanted to smack him in the face every time. Not that I recommend you do that too OP !!

Hope he snapped out of it and you enjoyed the rest of the day together.

he did come back - still sulking. I tried being reasonable for a couple of hours then blew a (quite small) gasket when he still refused to talk to me and I then stomped off. This seemed to do the trick and we've all made up now. I do wish he would just tell me when something is up - rather than having to go this bloody farce every time. Its definitely got better over the years but its so annoying as it takes so much time and energy.

Thanks everyone for your sympathy/concern though!

Well I am glad all is well. It might be worth a discussion when there is no tension in the air. Point out to him how pointless it is and ask him if he knows why he does it.

I hope you enjoyed your peaceful day [bugrin]
