Sulking DH [Edited by MNHQ for the OP]

[twinnywinny14]

What makes your DH sulk? Mine is sulking whilst cooking himself dinner because he’s tired and I’m laid out ill on the sofa having been off work for 2 days and again tomorrow

Well THAT wasn't what I was expecting

Unfortunate typo

I wondered what this thread was going to be about!

Blimey.

Oh thank god 😮 I only came on to report the thread! 😂
I think you’re going to re post with an edited title to get any sensible replies 😂

Likewise

Bit disappointed to be honest

😂😂😂😂

Swat him off like an annoying mosquito if he's sucking. Ignore him if he's sulking (like a child, ignore the bad, reward the good).

Best typo in ages!

At least he's making himself dinner I guess, if I'm ill my husband always orders takeaway.

Ha ha ! Was about to mention the sex board ! As that is the usual place for such issues ! No need I see

Bit disappointed to be honest 🤣🤣

Mine doesn't sulk. The sulk and the suck would not coexist in any relationship of mine.

He is cooking dinner for you too right?

Whoops

Bad typo there

But if you’ve been at home all day and again for yesterday why are you not preparing the food?

Surely you take it in turns when days off and what not

The sulk and the suck would not coexist in any relationship of mine. Haha.

Also, there is a difference between sulking and doing something in grumpy silence because you're tired and can't cope with faking sociability. The first is attempted manipulation, the second is just muddling through as best you can, but they probably look the same.

Ooo sorry spotted the ill part

Definitely not cooking!

He needs to grow up

Mine doesn't sulk - he grumbles endlessly and winds himself up to shouting if he's really annoyed. I think I would prefer 'the silent treatment' - at least you can just get on with your day.

Aw gutted I thought I was going to get a good laugh there.

Soubriquet - she's been off sick (and sounds like she's still suffering), not having a lovely couple of days off.

Ah I've not been so disappointed by a typo since the thread asking for suggestions for a large family cat!

Sorry, x-posted. I'm very slow tonight.

Sulking is an immature, childish strategy used by adults who either lack the ability to communicate or who know their feelings are unreasonable but lack the ability to get over themselves and grow the fuck up.

Unfortunately, many people respond to sulkers by doing nothing, thus exacerbating the situation. I find it best to challenge them - "Why are you sulking? Wouldn't it be more constructive if we discussed what's bothering you? "

ScrambledSmegs that’s ok

Serves me right for skimming the post
