Being selfish?

I am annoyed with DP. I know I shouldn't be and I do think I am being slightly selfish, but DP has not been having a good few days. It is mostly down to him being self conscious and he has been down about his looks. I can understand this as I have those days when I look in the mirror and go into a bad mood because of the way I'm looking. But what annoys me is that he won't talk to me. It's like I have become invisible. He ignores me, doesn't speak to me when I speak to him, and it is really doing my head in. What can I do? I feel like shaking him just to get some life back into him. I have asked him what's wrong, got nothing. I have tried to give him his space, still nothing. He is sulking, which he does when he gets upset/angry/moody/whatever! Usually I can snap him out of it, but not this time. Please help!

seriously - dress up like a clown - all the make up bit - and go in singing Life is a Cabaret - if he doesn't laugh you're in trouble!

There's nothing like a good laugh to pull the barriers down and its better than skulking about worrying - honestly!

I tried luring him into bed last night but that didn't work. That always snaps him out of it. I'm trying to not let it bother me, but it is. He's the first to moan if I ignore him.

In that case I get him where he can't escape and say you're not moving until he's told you whats up. I hate it when they go all silent on you and you spend time worrying - corner him, the sod!

Thank you JoolsToo. I guess there's nothing else left to try.
