How should I handle this? Uncommunicative arse of a husband.

[EchoOfADistantTide]

He works overseas, several hours time difference, for a month or so at a time.

We talk most days, BBM in between. Dh says he's going out with a colleague who's last night it is.

In his last days DH is usually a miserable fuck. Fine when he gets home, but his grumpiness ruins the thought of his imminent arrival.

In the last 24+ hours Ive had a two-word response from him. It's early hours where he currently is.

I'v sent a message saying I'm going to bed and talk tomorrow (I'm not in the UK), message so far unread. Do i do nothing or - as I tempted to do - say I hope to swap more than two word tomorrow?

What I'd actually like to do is boot him in the balls but what would be the sensible thing to do?

I am glad to have been of help echo.

Hi newbie here in need of advice. Separated this week from husband of 18yrs after a month at war. Husband seems to be in grip of midlife crisis and became obsessed with buying a silly car. I didn't mind but asked him to wait until we had replaced family car and did some bits we needed around the house. He went off one day to look at a car. Unbeknown to me he had hired a transported so had clearly gone to buy not look at the bloody thing. I then found out he'd had about 5 days off work (he is self employed) to go car hunting and never mentioned a word. I felt really betrayed by his lies of omission and lost a lot of trust for him. When I confronted him he thought I was making a fuss over nothing, said he wanted the car, new I wasn't interested so what's the problem? I feel that if he can not understand that lying like this is not the way forward in a relationship, we are in trouble. Anyway crappy month of bickering culminating with him moving out. We have two girls and for a while tbh I've felt like he is my third kid. He plays 'fun' Dad - telling the girls it's 'party time' for them whenever I'm going out and making me feel like a nag. Am i over reacting or is his behave unreasonable? Feel fed up with this man-child behaviour but is it enough to split up over??? So confused.
