Quoting Jeannine:
The C made what I thought to be a good suggestion and that is for me to validate his feelings at those particular moments and then to excuse myself from further involvement until we're both ready to talk about it, if I find myself too upset to discuss it further at that moment.
Hey, that's what I was gonna say after reading post from earlier today!

Seriously, I sure can relate. Similar what happened to me on Monday. I felt sabatoged too. If he is not going to accept your explanations, then this is the next best tact to take and it may take a two or three days before he is ready.

I tried talk to my W (CAW) in the evening after a disastrous day. We really didn't get anything resolved. After that she wrapped herself in the TV, so I load a computer game for D9. CAW decided to go to bed. No "Goodnite" ... no kiss ... no nothing.

Tuesday morning got ready for work. Usually get a kiss "Goodbye". I was given a cheek to kiss. When I got home ... each time I said something, I got a one word response. So I had asked about her day and she said she was in a real bad mood and continued to get the cold shoulder, so I left her totally alone. Again ... No "Goodnite" ... no kiss ... no nothing.

Today, when I got to work, I was told I had to come back tonight to cover the night shift. So, I called CAW to let her know I was coming home early. When I got home, she was full of smiles and all cheery. After doing some shopping, I wanted to take a nap before having to come back to work. She offered to lay my head on her while I napped. Go figure...

Anyway, my point is leaving them all during these "fits" seems to work time and time again towards turning them around again.

Hang in there (((( Jeannine ))))

'til later,
KAW
