Q: My husband ignores me for days for no reason and gets mad at me for the slightest innocent comment. I am afraid to even speak.

My husband gets mad at me for the slightest innocent comment from me (such as "why dont we go eat dinner now?" or any simple question I may ask. I have gotten to where I am afraid to open my mouth and wonder before I say ANYTHING if he will get mad or not. When he gets mad he just simply wont speak to me for days and pretends I am not even there. He also makes rude mean comments ABOUT me during that time to our 3 year old. We have a 3 year old and a 7 month old and I have an 8 year old from a previous marriage. He also treats my 8 year old the same way whenever he is mad at me but dosnt treat her that way otherwise. I almost feel like I am crazy and it has gotten to the point that I am so depressed every day I dont know what to do anymore. This happens on a weekly basis and he just ruined our summer vacation. We were gone with the kids for 4 days and on the very first day he pulled this and didnt speak to me the whole time. Did not do anything with us and I had to entertain the kids the entire time. It was as if he was there on his own and we didnt exist. When it was time to check out he took his bag and went and got in the car and sat there. I had to load up ALL of our bags and stuff and 3 kids and check out of the hotel - load everything and the kids in the car and drive us 4 hours hours home. What should I do and what is wrong with him? He has been this way since I have been with him, 5 years. And he NEVER says he is sorry. I always end up saying I am sorry for whatever I did, even though I dont know what it was, just to get him to end his ignoring of me.

I feel the same way too. My husband and I have been married for almost 3 years and I always apologize even when I have not did anything wrong just for him to talk to me. Just recently, I had a miscarriage (I already feel horrible because I believe I am totally responsible for the loss) and we had a fight on Tuesday in which he yanked my hand and arm and I hit him in the face. It was an instant reaction in which I have apologized for (over many many times). My husband had not talked with me for two days. From that, he told me that this is the end of the road for the both of us. You know times have been tough and other couples say that they would be in the beginning years of marriage. We only been married for almost 3 years and prior to that, we only known each other for 3 months. I fell in love with him the moment we met and although we have disagreements, I do not want a divorce because I love him too much. I would literally die without inside without him. I want him to understand that we are not always going to agree with each other but, coming to a compromising decision should always be a plus. I really miss his laugh, smell, touch and looking at me in a way to making me believe that I am the most beautiful person in the world. I miss studying and discussing the bible with him. I guess you are tired of hearing my story but what I am trying to say is that I believe all men are like that. It does not make it right but, it is the way that it is. Tell him how you feel and it he refuses to take that into consideration, give him an ultimatum because you are special even if he does not recognize that. Know this, another man would treat you like that queen that you are even if he does not. Laughing

Hi,

I understand how you feel. My boyfriend is the same. When we first met he was normal, but slowly he started to angry and only now and then I see the guy I fell in love with...

When I ask mine about the relationship or work, or lets meet or lets go out... he gets angry and blames me for everything and of course the silent treatment.. He loves the double standards...

Funny thing is when I tell him he is bipolar or needs to go to the doctor or take his medicine he will just say no I am not sick (no anger). 

 

He is now manic.... but when he crashes I will tell him get help or I will leave...

 

Dont you feel like your the mother and he is your child?

 

I hope everything works out for you...
