Insensitive silent treatment

So me and my husband have been together 9 years, married for 2.
Iv had doubts a while ago about being together however lately things have been great. He’s one for the silent treatment and just not talking when an argument has happened.
On Monday evening I lost my grandmother who I was very close to, but the night before me and my husband had a small row over something very silly. So comes the not talking, even after telling my husband my grandmother had died.. he then continues not not speak to me. He hasn’t said one word! To me, this is unacceptable.
I said to him why have you not said anything to me?! A hug, a kiss would do. Nothing. I’m so hurt and can’t speak to anyone in my family as I don’t want them to think bad of him stupidly.
My friends have sent me flowers and nice things to cheer me up. But nothing from him, not even a word. I understand sometimes people don’t know what to say, but I’m his wife. Is it that hard??
I told him last year I won’t live like this, the night before my hen do this happend. And I’m sick of it.
Surly I am not being over sensitive.

It is never too late to leave.

What do you want to teach your children about relationships and what are they learning here?. You would not want this for them in their own relationships and its not good enough for you either. How can you be helped into leaving your emotional abuser?.

@firecracker69 has it right. Inhumane is exactly what this is

I'm really sorry, OP. My grandmother died too, in the summer Flowers

I really don't think you deserve to be treated like that, at all.

💐🍰☕️ sorry about your Grandmother.
Time to ask him to leave.

I echo @AttilaTheMeerkat - @strangertimes it is not too late for you. Especially as you say you have children, who presumably are dependent.

You are younger than you think, and believing you are old is no doubt part of the brainwashing and gaslighting you have been suffering for years.

Opening up to the possibility of change is a step. Please take it.
