[quote=Anonymous]When I married my DH, he was not like this.  But over the last 10 years, maybe closer to 15 years, he gets offended / acts slighted by nearly everything.  I won't discuss things, even important things, with him any more, as I dread his reaction.  And then he won't tell me why he's mad - I have to figure it out.  He acts like a 12 year old girl.

One of many examples: I was driving him to pick up his new car.  Virtual silence the whole way there.  I can tell that he is mad at something.  I decide not to ask what, until he proceeds to get out of the car (at the dealership) and stomp off without saying goodbye.  Against my better judgement, I asked what was wrong.  He said that the was mad that I didn't act excited about the new car.  JFC, what did he want me to do?  I had no feelings about the car either way.  Its his car.  He needs a way to work, and the new car is a fine mode of transportation.  I could have faked being excited if he would have said something.

It is this way about EVERYTHING.  Normally, I do not ask what is wrong when he stomps around, and it eventually goes away.   By ignoring his silent treatment/stomping over time, I had hoped that he would eventually act like the 50 year man that he is.  You know, a mature adult.  But it doesn't seem to help.   Is anybody else married to a drama-queen male?  His mom is the same way, so I can only assume that that is where he learned this.
