My boyfriend sulks and refuses to talk to me!

Question - (24 October 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 24 October 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

After any sort of argument we have my boyfriend will sulk and not talk to me. One example back in May was when we had a minor disagreement over something he blanked me and then i suggested we met up to talk things over, that pushed him further into a hole and i couldnt pin him down to talk. Eventually I sent a lengthy email with my feelings and we met up and sorted it out.

The most recent sulking incident has occured last week when I said something to him which I really regret, I was pretty insensitive and for sure hes upset with me. Trying to smooth things over ive text, called and sent an email but got no rsponse. Its now been a week and im starting to panic as to what i do next. Hes had periods where hes gone into his shell for a few days but never this long.

What do I do? Should I simply wait for him to contact me (if he ever does) or should I try contact again in a few days but what approach do i take?

Also has anyone ele had a similar experience?

Thanks x

Hi there,

COMPLETELY agree with Auntie BimBim, sensible woman.

He loves these situations, pure and simple because he has you running ragged after him. Call his bluff and leave him to get cool in the skin he got hot in. He is a petulant spoilt brat who wants everything his own way and if he doesnt or God forbid you disagree with him he throws these hissy fits. He wont change now so bail out and find someone you can have a laugh and feel relaxed with without worrying about saying the wrong thing. Personally, I would send him a packet of Pampers and a dummy to show him just how juvenile his silly behaviour is. You probably fired off a few home truths during your last ruck so well done!

Cheers Doll, hope this helps.

Aunty BimBim agony auntThis is his way of controllling you. I get so exasperated when I hear these stories. What you should do is let him sulk in his corner and get on with living ... go to the movies, go out with friends, plant some tomatoes in a pot, read a good book, go out for coffee by yourself, paint your toenails an outrageous colour, dye your hair purple, knit a scarf, join the library and join a walking group.

When he contacts YOU to find out why you are not panicking ask him if he is over the toddler tantrum and tell him sooky la la's are not welcome in your life, that you would prefer a mature man who is capable of discussing issues and that if cant be that mature man this is GOODBYE! Don't forget to wish him a nice day.
