Top places exH sulked - can anyone top these! (semi-lighthearted!)

[heliosoftroy]

Currently going through a divorce from my super sulker ex, and often find myself thinking, with incredulity, at some of the sulks soon-to-be-exH pulled in the most inopportune moments! Top sulk moments -

• On a beach in the Florida Keys. Also a beach in Miami (separate occasion)
• Sitting in the 3rd row of the stalls at Hamilton on Broadway
• At my birthday dinner out in a fancy restaurant
• All the way on a 3hr train journey to a romantic weekend away I planned for his birthday
• The first Christmas I went to stay with his family
• At Peppa Pig World in the very long queue for a ride
• DC's birthday party
• On a cruise in the middle of the Caribbean
• Looking round wedding venues...

I'm sure there are more, but anyone got any crackers from sulking partners to make me feel better?!

@justasking111 can I ask why you didn't go on the holiday without your DH? You sound like you really wanted to be there.

Probably busy playing golf

It’s the lack of empathy and sympathy that makes you feel belittled. If it was reversed, we would be expected to be there with cool face clothes, fresh water, mints and comforting words at all hours of the day and night. And that’s what we would do. Perhaps women are stronger x

hi ex husband 😂

It just got worse the more I read… so glad you’re free of him 💐 I hope you’re much happier and safe from any sulking!
There was a word that popped in to my head when I got to the stomach prodding and leaving you on your special birthday, just incase I get in to trouble…. It rhymes with Hunt!

So sorry I disturbed your peace and serenity with the sounds of my hyperemesis through 2 closed doors while gestating your children.

Jesus christ @BirthdayRainbow I’m sure he didn’t want to hear it, I didn’t want to be doing it. Telling your sick wife you’re “bored” of hearing her be sick is fucked up in the extreme.

My Ex used to sulk, constantly, for days and wouldn’t tell me what it was about sometimes he’d just give me the silent treatment for days. It was psychologically traumatising if I’m honest.

I took him to Paris and paid for everything, arranged it all and he sulked for the entire 4 days we were there, on the 4th day he told me it was because a random guy from the gym we went to had followed me on instagram which I hadn’t even noticed and he was convinced I was speaking to him.

We also went to Cuba with my parents and he sulked for most of that. One evening he was watching the NBA on the tv in the lobby (nor me or my parents are interested in sport) and we all sat with him for an hour but it just went on and on for ages so we said we’re gonna go for a little walk we’ll be back in about 30 minutes, got back to him gone, waited a little while because I thought he was in the toilet.. no sign, went back to check the room and he screamed blue murder, said I’d abandoned him and that I’d made a fool out of him and sulked about it the whole next day. I missed out on so much on that holiday and was mortified at my parents witnessing it all, I decided on the plane home that I was going to split up with him.

He was vile and I found out he was cheating on me with the girl he told me not to worry about, after harassing me for years and calling me a cheat without any evidence. He’s now married to said girl. I feel sorry for her.

Mine was like this. Didn't speak for days on end and had no clue what was wrong.
The first time apparently is because he found a crumb in the butter.

Udderly ridiculous!

In recovery room after a cat 1 Csection cos he SHOULDVE been allowed in…. He was outside smoking and talking to his friend on the phone. By time he got back I was snoozing in theatre & baby was born!

Because I've always handled the cases and got in the queue while he parked the car. At the moment I'm having back and hip issues so can't walk far, certainly not dragging a suitcase. After four hours sat in a plane walking will be a challenge.

Looking back I used to drag the cases, look after the children while he parked the car. I also had to watch the carousel and kids while he sorted out the hire car. He said traveling alone was less stressful than with family.

I realise it’s not really the point of this thread but…i’m getting some amazing ideas for my ‘future holiday wish list’.

Didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at these - just awful !

My late adoptive dad complained a lot at Christmas, very “bah humbug” and all that rubbish, trying to drag everyone else’s moods down. I get some people don’t like certain holidays, but being a grinch or Scrooge doesn’t make Christmas magically go away.

A-mum pointed out to him that he liked getting presents, the food (some of which we only had at Christmas), TV specials etc, so what exactly was the problem?

Everything, everywhere, every day.

I've had a seether as a partner, who had the ability to be slighted at pretty much anything, any time any where. I thought that was bad enough, but at least with a seether they are only too keen to scold you about your transgressions, so at least you know what you've done "wrong"...I'm beginning to realise that a sulker might be even worse.

@TypingoftheDead ex H was also a scrooge, refused to help with anything to do with Christmas. I have a video of him screaming vile abuse at me and smashing up the kitchen on on 21 December 2018 because I dared to complain about the fact I had done absolutely everything - all presents, Christmas tree, family obligations, everything. His solution was that we should just “not do Christmas” as it was “too stressful”. We had a 6 month old and a 4 y.o at the time.

Last Christmas (2023) was our first Christmas properly separated (we split in November 2022 but still living under the same roof). It was bliss - no grinch, I had to do everything myself but then I always did. I offered for him to come over early on Christmas morning to see the kids open their presents but he refused as “there’s no point” - aka he couldn’t be bothered getting up. He got the kids a $50 voucher each for a sports store. Not wrapped, no involvement in Santa. Then had the bare faced cheek to stay at my house for ages while I prepared the christmas meal for my family, eating and drinking, having arrived empty handed. I eventually had to tell him to fuck off. (via text so the kids didn’t hear).

Chronicling 44 years of marital silences.
First time was during a holiday with another couple, during which we had got engaged. We'd ordered a taxi pick up from a nightclub and when it arrived he said let it go away, I'm enjoying myself. He was overruled and didn't speak to any of us on the ride back to our chalet. Our friends thought he was childish. This pivotal moment was when I should have called it off. I didn't.
Next was when I sat in the wrong place, according to him, at a long banquet style table, thus ensuring that he was also wrongly seated and not able to enjoy the company of certain mates. He didn't speak to me all evening and when we got home stomped off to bed.
Next, on holiday when I declined to lay on the beach and went shopping instead. Had our evening meal in silence. Next, on hols again. Was asked if I'd like to get back to hotel after an evening of drinking cocktails. It was 1 am so I said yes. He obviously didn't agree and stormed off into the night , followed by my tipsy jog to keep up, as I didn't know the way back to the hotel.
The jewel in the crown was a few years ago when, on Christmas morning our teenage son and I were opening presents and doing Christmassy stuff. He came down from bed mid morning and didn't say a word through the morning, coasted through dinner while I frantically tried to keep up a conversation with my son which appeared to involve the zombie eating his turkey, without said zombie actually muttering a word. It was soul destroying. I ended up throwing his unopened presents at him at 11 o'clock that evening. Next day I sort of got it out of him that he expected me to sit up until after midnight with him and then partake in pre- Xmas sex. He denied sulking all day.
There have been more occasions since,and honestly, I call him out straight away and tell him to crack on.
Thanks for listening...

Utter bastard. I’d have 🤮 on him

My ex (thank goodness) boyfriend sulked over most things, but the one that sticks out is because I was crunching too loudly on my vegetable spring rolls from the Chinese...😂

Not just in the Concorde lounge, but actually on Concorde itself! I was gobsmacked - it was one of those once in a lifetime experiences and he sulked the entire four-hour flight from London to Barbados. The seats were too small, the air hostesses were too old (🙄), the champagne wasn’t the one he liked….God, he found fault with absolutely everything. He didn’t even notice George Michael a couple of rows in front of us. And yet….when we got back home, I overheard him telling his mate what a fabulous experience it had been 😳 He just wanted to piss on my chips, I think.

@justasking111 I feel so sad for you missing out on that trip.
I hope your health improves soon.

My 2nd ex husband threw a massive sulk because while I was waiting to be taken to hospital with a suspected stomach ulcer and in a lot of pain, he wanted to play some music on his keyboard for the paramedics and they said no, they were busy concentrating on me.

Absolutely hilarious 😆

You’ve got his measure a lot quicker than I did 😁 Reading this thread, though, has been eye-opening to how many men seem to be just as bad…if makes horrifying reading for the most part. We should get medals, just for surviving them.

No way, he must have been the only person ever surely to have complained about being on concorde , wow and George Michael on the flight too, must hsve been awful for you, I hope it didn't ruin your experience completely.

Where do I start?

• At an Eagles concert, front row expensive tickets for his birthday treat
• Holiday in Stockholm, didn’t like using the metro
• Every Christmas (seems to bring out the worst in super-sulkers)
• on a flight to the Far East, refused to speak for the duration, rude to cabin crew
• Christmas Market in Germany
• VIP day football match at Old Trafford with celebrity guest speakers (sulked because he didn’t understand one of their jokes)
• Hiking in the Yorkshire Dales
• Twickenham at the Rugby Internationals
• Tesco, Sainsbury, Morrisons etc
• Champs Elysee Paris at the final of the Tour de France (sulked because I spoke French to someone)
