After yet another week (and counting) of silent treatment, DH apparently suddenly deciding we can be friendly again, doing housework and chatting to the kids as if nothing unusual.
This has become a pattern of behaviour. You can read my current saga on the Relationship board via the Profile name if you like a saga!
I booked couple counselling for this Friday. He agreed. Now he seems to be ‘defrosting’ and meanwhile I am at the absolute end of my tether and actively planning separation options.
My head is a mess. The kids have been ignored all week too and now he cooked a meal and hoovered and they’re saying “at least he’s trying” and I now feel like I’m being unreasonable not to just fall back in line.
He hasn’t actually spoken to me yet, but he has been so absent for over a week, the sudden cooking and hoovering is abnormal behaviour!
Is this all mind games ahead of Friday?
Or am I losing my mind and being unfair?
AIBU?
Sudden end to silent treatment from DH…?

This isn’t normal. It’s like you’re so used to being treated poorly that the fact he’s raised the bar still nowhere near good but slightly off of the ground has you thinking that’s acceptable.
