Hi.
Would be grateful for any advice people can offer on dealing with dh semi frequent fits of silence.
We have been together nearly 4 years, lived together for 2.5 but only recently married.
He's always had quiet fits but infrequently, every few months or so. Recently, it has become most weeks.
This weekend, I have barely had a word out of him. He responds - ish -if I say something needing an answer but the conversation stops there. He is notinitiating conversation - or physical contact - of any sort, at all.
I've repeatedly asked what's wrong, not just this weekend, but when it's hsppened before.
I either get "nothing, I'm fine' or if something specific is raised and discussed, it just leads to a long shut down thereafter so nothing changes.
I've also tried leaving him to it but that doesnt shorten the shut down either.
Does anyone have similar experiences and can offer advice? At the moment, I just want to cry and / or beat him to death with a plant pot or something!
Btw, I'm certain I'm not yhe easiest to live with, myself, but at least I try to communicate and apologise if I think I'm in the wrong.
Help?.
