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?!

My ex Father in Law.
we had been on a villa holiday with them (my exH, me DD aged 3 and DS 7 months)
Our plane home was around lunch time. We were self catering and there wasn't much left for breakfast on the last day - we all had a couple of bits of toast and exMIL had made sandwiches for the plane. The plan was there would be time to get something more substantial to eat once we got to the airport.
The 2 kids had the last of the weetabix for breakfast and a bit of toast and he sulked the whole way home because the 2 kids had got more than he had for breakfast.
🙄

Safe to say I had the last laugh when I told him I wanted a divorce the day after he surprise tattooed my name on his (receding) hairline !! #GIRLBOSSmoment #feltlikeBeyonce

sorry, what?

Come on. Don't be like that. We all know what hashtag stuff means.

Wow he sounds like a twat. Are you still together?^

Yes, but plans are being made to leave. It took me 10 years to figure out he's probably a covert narc.

I sincerely hope you'll be able to be honest with the friends you've lost, apologise/ask them to forgive you and have a better future once you're free of this emotional vampire in your life. 🌹

Absolutely spot on.

Loving these!!!

NC for this.

I’m resurrecting this after reading 10 pages. DH and I went through a rough patch last year, I nearly ended it with him. He threw a strop after I told him I was going to visit my dad abroad (long story but I needed to go for some personal closure) he was so very unkind and horrible things were said. we got through it and he has worked on a lot of the problems he has admitted to. Over last few weeks he has started acting out again.

1. One day telling me I’m always fucking sticking up for our daughter (18) after he did something stupid to upset her- he left and then didn’t talk to me for a full day.

2. yesterday he started silent treatment again and walked off when I told him I was working and needed to concentrate and couldn’t talk at that particular moment. Today he told me by text he finds it so very sad that I put work before him. I didn’t respond and we haven’t spoken since the incident. For context, I was doing something with a time limit and couldn’t speak which I explained at the time.

we have been married 24 years. I’m feeling angry, sad, frustrated and fed up today 😤

Can you balance that up with when he apologises for being and dick, or when he is loving and supportive and not making it all about him?

I have a hunch.

Google The Sunk Costs Fallacy.

@PyongyangKipperbang yup is all I can say after googling that. There have been so many good moments and I am faced with some tough decisions- I have known this for a while. I have asked for us to try therapy separate/together but got a clear NO

Haha, just realised mine were both at home so not exactly top places and not relevant to this thread 🤣. Think I just needed to vent

Sometimes any place is the best place, but on your posts so far may I kindly suggest starting one in Relationships will give you some real support. Sounds like things are tough. Much love

PS I was once told "well I am happy so if you are not, why do I need to go to counselling? Its you that needs sorting out".

There were quite a few and this isn't the worst example, but it's the most unusual setting- on the monorail in Las Vegas. He'd gone there for a week long conference and I went along. One day I got lost while walking around the city (I walked for six hours just trying to find my way back, as this was before I ever had a cell phone) and was too dead tired and starving to try to make it back to our hotel, but I made it to another hotel, called him and asked him if he'd like to meet me there for dinner. He agreed.
When he showed up he was angry that I had gotten lost and wasn't there waiting for him when he got back from the conference. He refused to even stand in line next to me to get in the restaurant. He was standing a good distance away with his arms folded and a scowl on like a petulant child, making me hold his place in line. Throughout dinner it was stony silence, then the same on the monorail all the way back to our hotel, complete with giving me the stink eye and refusing to sit next to me.
He perked up back in the room because he thought he might get duty sex out of the deal. Needless to say, he did not.
Entitled twat.

DUTY SEX….???
Strewth…! Nothing like a sulky man to REALLY turn you on. 😁

Omg saying that I forgot there was a 3rd in my 20s who I went to Paris with who refused to do anything touristy and wanted to 'see the real Paris' and made us walk round an industrial estate.. then had a two hour nap on a bench in a park because he was tired.. whilst I just sat there.

Was his name Tom by any chance? 😆

😂😂😂

They never sulk without an audience!

This is highly entertaining, and it’s made me realise my ex is a sulker and I didn’t even notice. I thought he was just having some quiet time and left him to it! He’d do it on holiday, whenever he wasn’t centre of attention, and whenever he didn’t win a game/ sport etc.

On the flip-side, when he won a game he’d really gloat about it. I was always relieved when he won against me, as I preferred the smugness to the silent treatment. He came home from a party once, gloating because he’d won the party games. I asked who he’d been playing with. His competitors were all children. He’s 40.

Fifteen YEARS of this sort of shit??? Whyyyyyy?!

I’m currently 40 days into a silent treat ment - (I am counting the days with an app on my phone), difference is I’m happy about it this time 😁 he’s sulking because he read my diary where I’d written all the stuff I hate about him (like a mini version of this thread) and that It was boring me now, so he finally actually does have something to sulk about 😂. He left it open so I could see that he had read it - I imagine that was so that I would panick and apologise.

I’m as happy as a clam - I can’t wait to divorce the fucker 😁😁😁

You go girl, doesn’t deserve you!

Godspeed on the divorce!
Fucker read your diary, then has the nerve to punish you for the private thoughts he invaded. 🤡

I’ve remembered another but it was FIL now deceased

On holiday at a caravan park
We’d made dinner for all as we were a blended family by then and we fed the kids first he took the huff with me as he should come first and gave me the silent treatment during the evening and I looked at him and said do you always act like a toddler having a tantrum. his wife tried to shush me and I was having none of it and said this isn’t 1950. women are allowed to voice their opinions. He told me I wasn’t allowed and to shut up, then stomped off to bed. I’m sorry but I burst out laughing at the stomping.

soon after we went LC and now both are no longer here

Could you not just take yourself to the funeral?
