Well, shit. Husband sulking, not fun.

Background - things haven't been going great, lots of arguments and stress, and me feeling unappreciated. But things have hit a new low.

I had a couple of friends over last night - not a big deal, DH gets on well with them and we were just hanging out, chatting and having a few drinks. But he got the right arse about it, complaining that he was tired from work and wouldn't be able to sleep. Then he got annoyed because he couldn't watch what he wanted to on tv because we'd talk over it. He went to bed quite early, and was still in a strop this morning when he left for work.

I don't know what to do about this. He's welcome to have friends over whenever he likes, but he never does. And I don't like feeling like I can't do these things in my own house - if I stopped having friends over, I'd wind up bloody miserable.

I've texted him offering to cook a nice dinner tonight, and suggested he watch his show as he eats (yay for tivo!) But I've had no response. I'm worried that he's properly angry, not just ticked off, and I don't know what to do.

If he doesn't eat unless you cook whats gonna happen if you die before him?

Sorry DS has been ill, hope he is on the mend.

Having a young family and being saddled with debts is a big worry and adds to any other tension so hope whatever the money issues are you can get advice.

Backtrack: 'saddled with debts' may be overstating it, but ime money problems so early on in a marriage is usually a big bone of contention, apologies.

DS is fine, just a worryingly high temperature at the time so wanted to get him checked out. He's a bit sleepy but otherwise back to his old self.

It is a sore point, I'll admit. We have quite different views on money, I try and keep everything ticking over, save a bit then have some fun with the rest. He switches between spending quite a lot on nights out, then expecting us both to cut right back to save money. That's part of the reason I was happy to go back to work, because now I have some money of my own

Nothing desperate then but a difference in attitudes.
