Should I have to put up with this?

Thanks everyone for the advice and nice words. To cut a long story short, he came home about 2 hours after he left, had his dinner and went to bed. He mumbled something about him being the only person in his life who has no control over it and I left it at that.

He went off to work this morning, but was very nice about it, giving me a kiss and telling me to have a good day, so I think he realises he's done bad.

Stupid MAN.

I hope he's over his drama when he comes home tonight!
Glad he was nice to you this morning though, its so blimmin frustrating when they won't talk eh?!?!

Sounds just like my hubby when there is something on his mind. Takes him a while but he comes around and I have learnt that I just need to give him a wide berth and he comes to me when he is ready to talk it out. I know its hard... it's taken me 8 years just to be able to tell myself that it isn't me and to actually believe it When we first started living together - the "episodes" would be more frequent and a lot more volatile cos I would just take it so personally but since I have learnt to handle myself better, we handle his silent times a lot better and they are very few and far between and it doesn't take him as long to talk to me about what is bothering him. He told me that it takes him a while to sort out his thoughts so that they make sense to him and he would prefer to do that than try to talk to me when things are all jumbled.

Hope that makes sense

Boys suck huh?

Hope he brings more choccy home.
