I'm struggling to think of what my signature move is (actually, everytime I see the heading I think of a signature move in the bedroom).

Usually if I'm upset at DH, I tell him. I don't expect him to be a mind-reader. I do expect him to remember how things are supposed to be around here as does he of me. So when things aren't going 'my way', then I will tell him. I don't like mind games and if I did have a *sigh* or a stomp, DH would either be oblivious or would probably get sh!tty anyway and we'd argue about that and lose sight of the original problem.

(According to DH, I'm the most laid back wife compared to friends wives so he's quite grateful that I am the way I am - if there's a problem, it's usually quite a biggie)

I don't very often do the silent treatment or the stomp so if I do DF is usually quite concertned as he is right in the poop. My signature move is going into cleaning mode lol.

But that doesn't happen very often - we are both straight forward enough with eachother and know eachothers limits.

I hate the "I work" line... I work too!! I'm sure DH just says it because it gets an instant reaction.
When he pisses me off, I usually just tell him. What pisses me off most is when I ask for some help and then he stays on the computer/in front of the TV for the next 20 mins, half an hour, and by that time I've done it myself, then he gets the silent treatment combined with me doing the task a lot louder than I normally would.
Once I left him with a screaming baby. It was during the witching hour when baby was fed and changed and was just being generally grizzly. He had the audacity to tell me to get the baby quiet so he could hear the TV. So I handed over the baby and went for a drive for an hour. I figured if it was so easy to "get the baby quiet" he could do it. It was bliss and I think DH realised exactly what it is I do all day.

If I'm in a bit of a grump with DF I usually tell him why and see if he knows how to resolve the issue. We have our ongoing little things like him doing the dishes (I get seriously itchy rashes on my hands if I immerse my hands for too long and heat triggers it too so no gloves) or him helping me with things like the weeding but nothing we have big fights about.

The slient treatment doesnt work as DF will come and tickle me or do something absolutely rediculous so I cant help but laugh, sulking fails for the same reasons so I dont bother lol.
DF has told me that he doesn't like it when I sulk and it makes him a bit standoffish so that's another reason why I dont use it as it's not worth it.

So my signature move is probably pretending to sulk, making a joke about it and then popping the serious stuff in amongst the light hearted banter. If something has been building up for a little while then I will have a sit down (or most often lay down) talk with DF and we will share what we are dissatisfied with and how we think things can be improved.

And we haven't had a serious arguement yet
(probably because the moment he gets angry I burst into tears lol. I suck with conflict)
