I dont know what I did wrong, that day when I had seen him earlier everything was fine. what should I do? Reply to this Question Share |

Men are from Mars and women are from Venus, when we women are stressed we usually want to unload all of our feelings on someone else and talk about what is bothering us, where men usually want to retreat to their cave and be left alone to sort our everything, the more you pressure and pry by asking questions when they are in their cave, the more resistance and distance and even anger you will get.
It is just best to give him lots of space and soon enough he will be ready to talk to you again, and then you can ask what is wrong and if there is anything at all you can do to help or make him feel better....don't worry too much about it, if this is the first time this has happened then I say count yourself lucky, you have less of a caveman than alot of us have....

I'd give him a few days to cool off, and then i'd talk to him about it. he should be able to talk to you about what was going on with him.

There is a good chance that he was either put off and felt hurt that you did not come talk to him or ask him about his day before going to freshen up, or he just had a bad day. And don't we all have those! Calmly confront him when you feel he is in a better mood. :) Enjoy life! -Carrie

Sounds like to me that he might be going through some kind of stress or depression. Has he always from time to time done this, or has this just started out of the blue?
Talk to him when he is in his better mood on what is bothering him. A trip to the doctor might be the answer that you are looking for.
Good Luck to you
