I can't believe it. Had a massive row with DH this afternoon, he came home spoiling for a fight (his moods are just getting boring now). Me, being pre-menstrual gave him a good 'un. He's now sulking in his shed as he said he doesn't like it when I go nuclear. So why start a row ? Like I said, Sheds - wtf ?

My husband has a man-cave in the cellar. It's fab. I just bag up all his rubbish important and valued belongings and fling them through the door leave them in there for him to deal with.

I'm moving to a house with a shed on Monday, no dh, it will be mine, all mine....

At least it's summer? At least he's fucked off?

A friend's DH had his man-cave in a shed. The electricity to the shed was controlled by a switch in their kitchen; she'd wait for him to settle in his man-cave and then turn the power off

I'm parked on the sofa pointedly ignoring him. I made a point of not cooking any tea for us. Now he's totally bewildered why he's hungry. I'm just daring him to ask me, go on, ask me if I'M hungry. Cue the next row......

I went on a training course once, and there was a group meeting in the centre as well. Groups of blokes trooping in, all very secretive.... The groups name? Men With Sheds. Oh yes.... Shed fans getting together to talk about fixing things and stuff.....

I think you both need to chill and have a reasonable adult discussion about why you had a row (possibly in a few days once you are no longer pre-menstrual). Hope no children witnessed this.

No kids, no witnesses, just the way he likes it.

Sorry I was snotty, no excuses. Now I'm jealous of sunshine. I'm not a nice person

He's avoiding conflict (but doing a load of conflict), innit? Does he care you're upset? Do you care he's upset? What a mess

Are you both 14? Sounds pathetic. Either sort out your relationship or separate.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 09/03/2013 14:05

If he likes sheds, and you want a laugh look at 50 sheds of grey on twitter...

RobotHamster · 09/03/2013 18:22

You said you went all batshit nuclear.I imagined you turning into the hulk.

And yes, I am a robot hamster

RobotHamster · 09/03/2013 18:24

God.. I've just read the rest of the thread. You sound like you're looking for a reason to explode at him again.
