How do you get an apology accepted and how do you stop sulks?

[Lucky13]

I've just had a row with DH - i misunderstood him and blurted out a retaliation. I've since realised that he didn't mean what i thought and that i over reacted.

I said i'm really sorry, i misunderstood and thought he was being horrible (am also not feeling well so probably clouded judgement), but he still won't listen.

He says i have ruined his evening and is now ignoring me. Am i really sorry, so how do i get him to see that?

I know its sounds petty, but our whole relationship is like this lately. All i ever do is apologise for misunderstanding him and then he sulks for days.

Its just that i've been through a lot lately and i just can't cope with him hating me as well.

Any advice on how to get him to come round?

People (men?) often sulk about small things when in fact they are habouring longer term resentment over something else? Ask him if there is something else on his mind?

Here is the answer: Offer him a blow-job. It never ever fails. Worry about the realities tomorrow: he will be more amenable to your concerns after a surprise blow-job the night before (yawn).

However, If he continues to sulk and refuses the blow-job, well, is there a bus-stop nearby?

He is going to need it

Babypoo- men are so predictable eh. Surprise that they cause so many problems.

Toughdaddy, I never offered him blow jobs. So he sulked. In that way, yes, he was very predictable.

The rare occasions that I did he was sweet as chocolate, a little boy in the sweetie shop for a few hours and into the next day. Berk.

The 'Blow-Jobs' question caused an inordiate amount of problems. But he ultimately caused the biggest problems of all and went off to find his ickle-boy blow jobs elsewhere.

Thank god.

Now I can read a good book and be on mn. Just like you are.

You are clearly lacking in the blow-job-offers department.

Just like me!!!

babypoo- i like your simplifying theory. you could write a post modern feminist book called "why you msn needs blow job".

I prefer reading various papers online + MN as opposed to watching TV but I guess that i could multitask (if i have to)

Are you taking the piss out of me? Just because I am called babypoo doesnt mean I have shit for brains.

I let mine sulk, and foster a hostile bedroom environment so I get the good pillows and can leave the lamp on as long as I like

If you've apologised unreservedly for something you're genuinely sorry about and he's still sulking, then yes, I'd agree, he's either storing up something else or petty and in need of a slap.

oops, wong again. I DO have shit for brains. Take it all back.

what's msn?

Are we having our first row?

Hi babypoo- i wasn't at all. sorry if my sense of humour is a bit "niche".

I meant "why your man needs blow job".

hey snigger...that towel is bloody wonderful.

MSN makes a nice "Freudian slip" though

Tis a bit special, isn't it

babypoo-

toughpa - does your man need a blow job too then? Bit confused now.

Is niche like Kierkegard?

Rather than being on here I should be multi-tasking and doing the bloody washing up.

sorry for thread hi-jack...i will start a new one entitled Do All Men Love And Need Blow Jobs...come on toughdad follow me over there...snigger, did you arrange that towel??? Surely it didn't do that all on its own towelly-self??

babypoo- i can't win if i say yes or no to that question.

right toughdad...thread is up and running...

babypoo- the dishwasher is more environmentally friendly than handwashing, right

Yes. Whatever.

What's your point?

Why aren't you shouting over on the love lollies thread?

babypoo- i am having one of those pointless nights.

will check out lollies thread but not sure where to find it
