Should I kiss him?

Seven weeks ago I was sitting on the sofa with my DH, he got up and went to bed without saying goodnight.

He did not speak to me for three weeks after this.

For the next three weeks he spoke to me but only about practicalities.

One week ago he starts texting me asking me why is our relationship is so rubbish. I replied you can talk to me when you get home.

He came home sat on the sofa for two hours saying nothing and then said as I was not saying anything he was going to bed.

Today I receive a text. "The talking didn't go very well, did it. So let's try a kiss and a cuddle. If you agree kiss me as I walk in the door.

Maybe this should be in Aibu. AIBU to stab him?

"let him relax after work?"

What is he, some kind of precious doll? Tell him to grow the fuck up.

I would leave him, i honestly would. After all this time he is not going to change. Do you want to put up with this for the rest of your life? Dreading the next mood. That pathetic game playing.

I have never heard anything as pathetic as 'kiss me when I come in if you agree'.
What he is saying is 'i acted like a twat and would prefer it if you made the fprst move to sorting it out'.
Why do you HAVE to care for his mother?
Honestly (i don't like saying it unless i would) kick the bastard out.

This is so sad. He is ill and needs to see the GP for referral.
He needs this whatever happens to your relationship.

PooPooInMyToes · 21/07/2012 15:46

Im not convinced he is ill. He might be, but he might also be an arseholetwatface who likes playing stupid games, punishing the op for imagined slights and then having her make the first move at bringing him out of his self enforced silence so that he feels as though he's won.

Sallyingforth · 21/07/2012 16:00

It's gone too far for that. If he was playing games he would have got fed up with it by now. He would either have graduated to something worse, possibly physical, or would have given up and buggered off. Men don't have the patience.

What the actual musical, technicolour fuck?!
OP, you're a saint to still be putting up with him after all that time, you wouldn't have seem me for dust in your position.
Does your DC at home notice his behaviour? Have they mentioned it?
Sorry to hear about you DD's situation Sad

Leave him? I'd kill him.

I think the jury would be sympathetic.

PooPooInMyToes · 21/07/2012 18:47

I don't agree with that sally. Plenty of people are mentally or emotionally abusive without it becoming physical, and i don't believe a bloke can only stay abusive for so long before he became bored and wanders off.

Anniegetyourgun · 21/07/2012 19:21

Well my moody fuck of an ex carried on playing ridiculous mind games for 25 years and never hit me once. (I threw some stuff at him once, near the end, but that's another matter!) He never got any better either, hence the "ex". And 20 horses wouldn't have been able to drag him to a therapist.

Sallyingforth · 21/07/2012 20:07

I'm no doctor. It's just the OP's comment about there being a regular pattern to his behaviour, as if perhaps he had a split personality.

PooPooInMyToes · 21/07/2012 20:50

Oh i see.

Lizzabadger · 21/07/2012 22:34

Oh god - bin him.

(don't show him the thread.)

Krumbum · 23/07/2012 01:39

I don't understand how some can ignore you for weeks when you live together, so you'd ask him a question and he would completely blank you? Did you still share a bed?
He sounds mental. And is blaming you for it.
