[quote=Anonymous]My husband does this to me regularly.   Any small thing I say that he doesn't like will lead to this treatment for days on end.   The last thing that happened was when, in front of my kids and their friends, he made a comment about not going to my nephew's wedding because "I don't want to watch two dudes get married".

To be clear, we didn't go to his wedding because it was on a cruise and was lasting 5 days and we couldn't afford it.  Otherwise I would have gone to my nephew's wedding.  But I said "That was rude, and was NOT why we didn't go" when he made his remark that he thought was so funny.      He made a nasty comment to me, left the room, and hasn't spoken to me since.    But he will talk to the kids (they are teens), and anyone else that is around.     Any time I attempt to talk he ignores me completely.     I just got back from an important appointment (not medical), and he hasn't asked me anything about it.   I told my adult daughter something about what happened at the appointment, and he purposely walked out of the room and won't engage at all.

I find myself feeling humiliated, embarassed, hurt, etc., but I don't think I did anything wrong.  But the feelings come nonetheless.    I feel small.

Although my kids are older, I know they don't understand this dynamic that is happening to me because he talks to them a lot, goes out for coffee with them, etc., while I'm sitting here feeling like a piece of shit on the bottom of his shoe.
