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 !!

Sulking is really aggressive behaviour.

I suggest that you either pretend you haven't even noticed that he's in a sulk or you say to him that sulking is very childish and when he's ready to rejoin the grown ups you'll be happy to welcome him back.

Leave the bastard. Worked for me.

I wouldn't live with someone who sulked. Taking time out for a few hours to calm down is one thing, not speaking and sulking for days is another.
No revenge from me, just a serious talk about how this relationship isn't really working and maybe we'd be better apart.

What gets sulkers the most is not to be bothered about it, but quite happy instead.

The problem with that is that they feel out of control and may think of other ways to impact on you. :(

Ultimately, probably best to just let him know that if he won't engage you in adult terms then he'd better leave. No point in being together.
