DH giving me the cold shoulder...

[shelbyjosh]

Last night DH went to go have a bowl of cereal for a bedtime snack. He went to get the milk and saw there was probably enough for his bowl and that is it. He asked if there was more...duh...look in the fridge!!! No, I did not get a new gallon. He got all huffy with me because I couldn't take the time to get milk, yet had time to play on the computer during the day. He didn't say a word to me after 10:45 and I went to bed around 11:10. He elected to camp out on the couch. He came into the bedroom this morning and didn't say boo to me. Is this just a guilt trip he is laying on me or what? Thank goodness he is leaving to go hunting tonight.

good luck with this

Does your DH normally get that irritated over something like not having anymore milk? If it were my DH and he started acting like that towards me I'd probably keep bugging him until he told me why he was really upset. If it ended up being because of milk, I probably wouldn't have given him a choice of the bed or the couch, he'd be sleeping on the porch. I'm sure everything will be ok by this afternoon but I think I'd ask him what in the heck his problem was.

Over a gallon of milk? Are you sure there's not something more to it? because that reaction sounds a little overboard for something that's not such a big deal.
On the other hand... I have a close family member that treats people like that... He's extremely nice in the beginning of a relationship and then it starts out slow... if things don't go his way, he ignores them for a few hours and works up to ignoring them for days at a time. He's a controlling person and this is what he uses to get his way.

Probably just a combination of things that built up during the day.
Like everyone else is it easier to release this tension where we feel the most comfortable and loved. That being said, I think I would slip him a note to not forget to buy the milk. Be sure to include "love you lots", on that note for a little extra message.
Other than that, I wouldn't worry too much, we all get over it eventually.

He's probably upset with the amount of time spent on the computer.

Good luck

I agree. Maybe he feels like you're choosing the computer over him.

Sounds to me like he maybe just had a bad day, and was just kind of cranky. I hope everything is better today.

Sounds like a bit of an overreaction. Hopefully it's something else - I'd hate to think that he could give you the silent treatment and sleep on the couch over something so minor. Hope it passes.

P.S. Why didn't he go out and get more milk?

I agree there is probably more to it than meets the eye. Maybe the computer time is the real issue. I know my DH drives me mad by being on the PC for hours and I can be huffy as anything with him about anything and everything.

By the way, don't they sell milk to men where you live? (No offence meant; only being flippant).

 

[bjgrazi]

See now I'd smack him in the head and tell him to get over it.

I agree there has to be more to it. It just seemed too much of an overreation.

When we first moved in together this was my husbands tactic when he was mad at me. I don't work that way and I told him if he had something to say, say it and get over it. If we were in the house together he had better be talking to me. It took him awhile to get used to this new style of communication, because he lived 10 years with he and his ex wife not speaking for weeks at a time. Whenever he'd clam up I'd give him a little while and then ask what was up. I can't remember the last time he used the silent treatment on me.
If your husband is still silent when you see him again, just ask him what's the matter. It may be something more than the milk.

My husband sometimes gets upset at the amount of time I spend on the computer too. He has a way of pulling me away from here without making me feel bad about it. I know I can get carried away, this is an addiction for me and I have no problem with his questioning it from time to time.

you handled it well, posting about him on an internet board is allways good

 

[browneyes]

Tell him he's being too Freudian.

 

[Minniespal]

If he doesn't usually behave like this probably just a bad day. Hopefully he should be better today.

What a big baby. I would toss him a pillow and blanket tonight and let him sleep on the couch again.

ROFLMAO!

You have to understand that he has everything done for him. He works long hours and I try to do as much as I can (maybe too much??) to make it easy on him. So, I forgot to buy milk. Give me a break! The kids eat oatmeal or waffles with OJ in the morning. They didn't need the rest of the milk. I told him to go ahead and drink it and I would get more today. The past couple of days I have been cranky (PMS?) and get irritated easily. Today when I called him to let him know DS is home sick, I asked him how much $$ he needed to go up north this weekend. His response was "I don't need anything from you. I don't need to sleep with you or talk to you because you are so cranky. You have some problems going on and I don't know what they are!" I just told him I was PMSing!! Like I said earlier, thank goodness he is going up north tonight! Oh....I am not constantly on the computer when he is home. DD is on it more than me in the evening. What I do with my time during the day is my business. My housework gets done, food is prepared, bills are paid, etc. He needs to quit his *****ing!!!

He sounds like he's pms'ing too.
