[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband has a very strong and frequent pattern of sulking and pouting when he’s upset. It has really strained the marriage and I’m at my wits end. This has been going on for years.

If there’s anything that transpires between the two of us that he thinks is unfair or hurts his feelings, he won’t speak to me for three or four days beyond basic kids logistics. Won’t make eye contract, won’t check his text messages or calls, nothing.

It’s not at all the case that I’m some kind of jerk to him. When he upsets me, he apologizes and we move on. But it takes days after I apologize for him to rebound.

I’m exhausted. This cycle is killing our relationship. We’ve tried therapy before but he insists he’s just an emotional person who’s allowed to feel what he feels. I’m starting to feel like we’d be better off apart. [/quote]

So who is the arbiter of what is fair or unfair?

If I were trapped in a sexless marriage I'd be sulky and pouty too.  You're rewriting the history of your relationship for your own convenience.

He couldn't have been too sulky and pouty when you married him or you wouldn't have.  You thought he was your best option at the time and you're probably right.

Why don't you give an example of what your last fight was about?  Your side, his side, don't spin.
