Passive aggressive huffs are exhausting!

[Sickofhuffs]

NC cos sister in law on here.
My OH works away during the week comes home Thursday till Monday.
He is often stressed from work so it takes very little to piss him off. Then he goes into a huff. Now if I have the energy I ignore it carry on as normal and he comes out of it usually a few hours later.
But last night he came home huffing cos I left my key on outside of re front door by mistake. Honestly today I'm to fucking tired to carry on as normal. I'm sick of this shit! Grow up FFS! So I suppose I'd like to know if ur OH huffs and if so how do u deal with it.

Suggest you tell him that, whether he's had a shit time at work or not, nothing gives him the right to take his bad mood out on anyone else. Sulking is childish, attention-seeking behaviour and it's unacceptable. 'Grow up FFS' sounds about right.

Yes. I think that's right. He's still in bed. Normally he's up playing with the kids by now. The longer he stays there the crosser I am feeling. I don't deserve this shit!

There's no point working yourself up and getting angry about it or things will escalate and you won't get the point across. Pick your moment when he has no excuse about being 'stressed from work' and tell him how it's going to be in future. No more sulking, no more hiding in bed when there's domestic stuff to do and no more taking out these bad moods on the rest of the family. If work is so stressful, he should find another job.

Thank u cogito! Voice of reason as always. X

I hope he's up and helping out and not sulking anymore?

Is he the sort of man who bottles his emotions up? If so, then maybe he keeps his feelings and stresses to himself at work and then unfortunately it all comes pouring out once he gets home to you in the form of sulking and moaning. I'm not saying it's right of him, but some people can only release their emotions in a place where they feel comfortable and relaxed.

Perhaps he needs to throw things and shout more often whilst at work.
