my husbands sulking is getting me down

[sulkinghusband]

Just after a little bit of advice. My husband and I had a bit of a disagreement over ds bedtime last night and because I didn't say exactly what he wanted to ds then he will not talk to me and has gone into a massive sulk from last night until today.

He has rushed out the door to his Tuesday night social club, when he could see I had made a nice meal for him. Never even said goodbye or a kiss and I just felt devastated and am sat here in floods of tears. I never realised being married would be this hard, (I know it's not mills and boon, but surely I shouldn't be crying my heart out over this)

This is not the first time he has gone in a sulk, it is how he always deals with arguments. Refuses to discuss them.

Last night after the argument he said, as I won't support him then he won't do things my way with ds at all. We have already had a major fallout over his aggressive nature. This week he smashed up my dc's pushchair because they wouldn't play nicely with it and because it wouldn't fold down easily, he stamped on it, leaving the dc's crying.

I don't want to sound too much 'poor me'. Feel I am going to get a few mner saying 'grow a pair' and deal with him. I'm just very sensitive to confrontation and hate dealing with these situations. Even though they make me feel like shit.

Hi. I'm new on here, and somewhat puzzled with the abbreviations, can you help me out please? I'm also in a similar situation here. I've been married to my husband for 16 years. I think the shortest sulk he's ever had has been a week.
I think we may be coming to the end of the road however. He has spoken to me in a platonic way but not touched me and you can tell he's sulking, for nearly eight weeks. It came out of the blue, I have no idea what I'm supposed to have done. I've talked to him about his behaviour and asked if he'll consider talking to someone. Absolutely not,there is nothing wrong with his behaviour, and I've brought this all upon myself. My children (who are from my first marriage) are now grown up, and avoid him. He's driven my friends away, they all think they've done something to offend him. He's a workaholic and never socialises, and if he does it's to do with the business. I don't socialise any more because he complains about everything I do. I had to give up my job because he said it didn't make enough money to be worth it, he didn't think that it might be doing me good. Everyone who thinks differently to him is wrong, not merely different. His father used to criticise him a lot when he was young, and over discipline him.

I don't know the answer either. He's afraid that if I leave, I'll claim half the business. He never gets physically violent with me, but he's stopped helping me (I'm disabled) and even watched me fall the other day and walked away. I'm starting to get afraid of him this time, and this is the first time that's happened.

Sorry,SulkingHusband, if I hijacked your thread. Just want you to know you're not alone as much as anything......

hippyhip as this thread is 20 months old and many people tend not to read the whole thread (just the first few posts) and won't see your message, you'll get a far better response from starting a totally new thread

In fact it's over two years old, definitely start your own thread if you need advice

Thanks Flisspaps. Not so good at this am I??
