He's sulking after I said no to sex

Last night, my DP tried to initiate sex. I said no and he turned over and started sulking. This morning DS started crying and DP went to make him a bottle but he then gave me the bottle and when I asked if he could feed him, he said no and just sat down and went on his phone. He normally would so i think he's still sulking.

Yup, some people just don't know when to quit, do they ? Grin

You can always tell the 'calibur' of a person by seeing their true 'values' Hmm

Wow sulking is such an attractive trait, I can't fathom why you're not jumping his bones this very minute Hmm

But just to be clear, I don’t ever remember saying no to sex (chance would be fine thing these days) , but you never know pigs might fly and someone might ask me ( yeah right ..)

Your specific situation sounds very different to the OP here. But in general, communication yay, lack of communication, anger, stroppiness, sulking, absolutely not.

A rejection in a healthy relationship? "Okay darling night night is much more likely to endear the partner into the mood in the future than taking it badly.

How did you say “no”? Slam the door in his face? Or did you give him a kiss and rub his shoulders for a bit after you said no.
Wtf? 🙄

I stuck around for more than 20 years with a man who sulked when he didn't get sex. It wrecked my libido
Get out now. It I ever meet anyone else I'm off at the first sulk

Not looking after his own son to punish you for saying no to sex? Repulsive.

Any form of sulking because someone says no to sex is not acceptable but to try and deprive his baby as punishment is something else.

Bet he has form for this?

He refused to feed his baby a bottle? To punish you for saying no to sex? Is feeding the baby "your job" and he won't "help you" with "your job" unless you have sex with him?

He huffed and refused to feed his son? Who was literally crying?

Nope. Get rid.
