Poor, pitiful little me

[goofyshell]

Tomorrow is my birthday and my dh and I are not getting along. I told him he was too critical so his solution is to try and talk to me as little as possible. We're not really fighting but this is so yucky.

Ick. I'd almost rather be fighting than not talking- I hate silence.

I'm sending pixie dust, STAT!! I hope it gets better! Happy Birthday!

I totally agree. I hate getting the silent treatment! I'd rather fight and get it all out so we can work through it, instead of spending days in silence.

Sorry your dh is acting like that and I hope he comes around quickly so your birthday isn't ruined!

Maybe you two should make up tonight! It's no fun being angry and not talking. Obviously I don't know whats going on but it just seems silly to me not to talk to your spouse especially when it is your birthday tomorrow.

Happy Birthday! Hope your hubby smartens up and doesn't put a damper on your day. If he doesn't, then just ignore him and go do something special for yourself.

He's not completely not talking to me, he's just being very quiet and withdrawn. Sigh. I know there are people with real problems (my mom has breast cancer and her chemo is not going well) I just wish I hadn't said anything to him!
I do promise to be very good to me tomorrow though! Thanks for the empathy!

A birthday can be celebrated *anytime* Since so much is going on right now, maybe just announce that you'll be celebrating your birthday on May the whatever..... can still be just as much fun! Whatever you choose, have a good one.

Why not tell your pouting hubby your celebrating your Birthday with or withOUT him....

Happy Birthday, tomorrow.

Hope things look up for you and your DH. DH and I go through spurts like that sometimes, it usually only lasts a day or so, and we let it go. Good luck.

I just LOVE passive-aggressive behavior.

You tell him he's too critical so he trys to not be as critical? What did you expect by offering critisism like that? Hope you work it out and have a good birthday!

Actually fighting is better than not talking. When one is fighting that means you still want to fix the problem. Not talking usually happens when one or both are starting to withdraw from the marriage. If this more than a one time problem then maybe counseling will help.


Happy Birthday
