Partner not speaking to me

[SunnyPinkMouse]

My partner of 8 years hasn’t spoken to me for 2 days now.
We were chatting about his family, who I find incredibly hard to tolerate, and he asked if we should pop round to his brothers. I said he is welcome to go and I’ll stay at home and have a bath. He said we should socialise with his brother more and I said tbh I don’t really like his company and would rather stay at home. He asked why and I said I find his brother difficult to talk to because he’s very defensive and argumentative. My partner then tries to defend his brother by saying it’s unfair I think that because his brother used to be more relaxed and I said that’s all well and good but I’ve only known him as he is now and I think he’s a knob at present. My partner then said he thinks my 2 brothers and brother in law are knobs, and so I said I think his mum has a face like a slapped a*se.
Did I go over board? Shouldnt my partner be speaking to me by now? I feel like he values his family more than he will ever value me

I think I would be offended if someone described MY mum that way! I think you need to apologise to your DP for how you worded some of it but in the end he needs to get over it and speak to you or one of you needs to end relationship. Because you can't live with no communication ever!

I think you both sound like children rather than a married couple, and if that’s how all of your chats go then it’s probably for the best you simply don’t speak to each other.

Honestly I’d value my family more if my husband said that about my mum…. You did go too harsh there. I understand about finding his brother difficult but even if you dislike his mum that’s a horrible thing to say and uncalled for

Utterly childish the pair of you. Looks like you made this situation worse which fueled him and now he's not speaking to you as a result.
Do either of you know how to have a grown up relationship?

OP, your post has made me giggle, so thankyou for that, I needed a laugh.

You both sound incredibly childish! Fine if you didn't want to visit his brother but to say that about his mum?! I wouldn't be speaking to you either!

You were out of order talking about his mum. Apologise. Don’t expect him to instantly forgive you either. That’s his mum. Mums are off limits. I hope this post is fake. You both need to grow up.

Family is family. Your partner loves his as much as you love yours.

You were SO disrespectful and he will never forget it.

Hopefully you both can sincerely get over this.

Childish! I'd wouldn't speak to you either after those insults. You may think his brother is a knob and that his mother has a face like a slapped arse, but you shouldn't have said that out loud. And now you're in a tit for tat situation. I think you both need to grow up and you definitely need to apologise for what you've said!
