I've written about this before on here and its not got any better. I've been with my husband for over 20 years and this has been happening throughout that time .
When we argue (doesn't matter what about , could be anything) at the end of the argument when we are both still angry we will part ways. If its night time we will go to bed. If its day time one of us will go out.
After this either once I return home or the next day when we get up, he wont speak to me. We keep away from each other. The atmosphere becomes very uncomfortable. We will speak if necessary/important about the kids , but nothing else. But husband wont look me in the eye and will give one word answers. I try to speak to him normally and carry on as normal as best I can but he wont.
In addition to this, if something was planned the next day, an outing for example he wont go. But I still have to carry on as normal for the kids.
He wont eat the evening meal I cook or sometimes he will stop eating completely for a few days.
He will go to bed at 8pm and not say goodnight to anyone .
If I text him about something no matter how important, he won't reply to me at all or answer the phone.
If he is supposed to be doing something the next day he wont do it. For example today whilst im out he is supposed to be packing the car with rubbish and taking it to the tip. I can see on the camera that he hasn't done that and will be sitting watching tv. This happens with every disagreement/argument no matter how small or large.
If I match his behaviour which i have in the past to see what happens it can go on for weeks. Once we didn't speak at all for 6 weeks. By the end I couldn't even remember what we had fell out about.
On average it will last for about 3 days with me trying my hardest to make peace and bring things back to normal but I am absolutely sick of it.
