What did you do together revenge on DH

[honeyjar]

My DH has not spoke tome since Thursday. Yes we have spent all weekend not really speaking. Obviously kids are picking up on this.My brother in law sent him an email about taxing the car. DH has taken umbridge at being told what to do by his brother and is cross with me, because he thinks (he is right) that I spoke to his brother about it. My DH has a tendency to sulk, and basically needs to grow up. He likes things done his way, if I don't then he sulks. I am now totally pissed off with his childish behaviour, and just want to get back at him.......you know spit in his dinner.....any other ideas.....someone I know weed on her MILs toothbrush, she was really pissed at her MIL !!

Why don't you try talking it over?

Revenge is not the new black.

Revenge won't help at all. It'll make things much worse. Talk to him.

You accuse him of being childish then talk about spitting in his dinner and weeing on his toothbrush

meh

Really? You are joking aren't you OP?

Spit in his dinner??? lol

God, I hope that wasn't my mom's toothbrush .....what a witch that person was???

Blimey. I thought I was bad. A few choice swear words or a walk usually settle my temper again. Sometimes I swear and then go for a walk

dunno about DH, but EX, sewed prawns into curtain lining MWHAW

OP just go give him a cuddle fgs

I find your post incredible I must say, sorry

Shove the toothbrush up your arse and rotate 360 degrees.
A worthy revenge for both of you.

Hmmmmmm. Senokot in his curry?
Hide his car keys (but in a place that he might have put them himself)
Big knot in trainer laces
Empty hot tank if he is planning on having a shower?
Invite girls round for a glass of wine but forget to tell him.
Scratch (tiny) his favrouite dvd/cd?
Get DCs in on it and see what they come up with.

Actually if he is in the habit of sulking for days on end when he thinks you have been disobedient, there's only one 'revenge' worth taking and that is to end the relationship and put him out of the house.

Are things bad enough for that?

Growing the hell up is the best revenge.

Childish?

Pot, meet kettle

It's all very well telling OP to speak to him, or stop being childish but I know from experience that in your attempts to guard the DCs from the awkwardness and unpleasantness of a full blown argument, where you would be able to let off steam and tell him what you really think of his behaviour, you bite your tongue and carry on as normal. Upshot is DH gets away with upsetting and belittling you leaving you to deal with your repressed fury whilst pretending to DCs alls well. Really not a healthy way to behave but you are forced into it.

And ime talking to him means being obliged to take the blame and apologise or admit you are contributing to his difficulties (the ones which entitled him to be a stroppy brat), anything else and the sulks continue.

I think both of you need to make sure you've done your homework, pack your bags for school, and get an early night.
Grow the fuck up!
It must be horrible living in your house!

Thank you for all the posts. ESP the ones that told me to grow up, and I liked the one about rotating 360 degrees on the tooth brush.
I have not spat in his dinner, although I have thought about it.
I posted because, I thought people might be in the same situation.....I needed sympathy, and I needed a bit of a laugh.
So thank you to those that sympathised, yes it is difficult when he sulks, and if I say sorry, he thinks he is in the right and it reinforces his behaviour.
Thank you to those that came up with ways of getting revenge, they made me laugh and at least I can fantasise about all the ways I could get back at him...mawhaha.......yes I know I am being childish!!
I should have started post .....for a bit of fun........sorry to those I upset.

Hi honeyjar.
I would ignore his twatty behaviour and carry on breezily as you can. This is quite difficult if its just you him and the dcs as he will get to you :(.

So phone your friends up, go out and have loads of fun with dcs or friends, spoil yourself, invite a friend round, don't do anything for him. Basically let him know that the world doesn't stop when he decides it should and actually carries on quite happily without him.

Failing that, I'd take sgb's advice as he sounds like an entitled twit x

Best way to deal with a sulker is to ignore them. Sulking is a form of attention-seeking and, if it's not getting attention, it gets very old pretty quickly. When he's acting like a grown-up again, that's the time to give him both barrels about why you won't tolerate living with a spoilt brat.

Fortunately for me he works away Monday to Thursday , so only have to put up with it thursday through to Monday. I will take you advice and carry on breezily. Can only hope he snaps out of it before Thursday.

On a serious note, the kind of behaviour that results in silent treatment when someone isn't getting their own way could be classed as 'emotionally abusive'. If this is a common feature of your relationship, if you find yourself minding your Ps and Qs or changing your personality rather than risking another silent tantrum & if you're backing down in order to keep the peace.... then that's not healthy.

^someone I knew who'd been treated badly by a wealthy man did:
cress seeds sprinkled on very valuable rug, water gently, move to sunny area of house, turn up heating and leave for 2 weeks.
Mean, but inventive and she felt better, (I guess).^

So she committed criminal damage, but the main thing is, she felt better. So that's all right then.

I agree with the OP - if your relationships is in difficulties, a little vandalism can often be the way forward. I'm amazed Relate don't do more to emphasise the value of vindictiveness and spite in relationships.
