DH and I had an argument on Thursday which started out as something quite trivial but escalated into something quite ridiculous.
I was cooking at the time and when I put the food on the table he refused to come and eat with me and the dc. I left his meal on the table but he ignored it. Later in the evening he cooked himself something else. I left the chilli con carne in a bowl on the kitchen table and told him to dispose of it if he wasnt going to eat it, he has refused.
I know its childish of me but I have left it there. I have never done anything like this before and I thought he would realise how pathetic he is being and move it. But, he sulks for days after an argument and completely blanks me until he has had time to reflect and calm down. So I am not expecting him to resume normality for a couple more days yet (I know, I know, its pathetic and I shouldnt put up with it but Ive learned over time that the best way to deal with him is to just ignore him until he decides he has been childish for long enough).
Anyway, I have just spoken to him to ask him again to dispose of the chilli (it has now gone black and crusty, yuk!) but he is refusing. Should I just leave it or get rid of it, I know its childish I feel like he is getting his own pathetic way again if I get rid of it for him. It will bug me before it bugs him.
