By him not giving you an answer, he does not have to be acountable for anything you just asked him. He can go any direction he chooses


Once again, the hallmark of childishness is lack of accountability.

This reminds me of something I posted a while ago about my bf waffling when I ask him a direct question. He turns on what I call the "fog machine." I wrote:

I had tried to get him to tell me any specific behaviors that I did that caused him to label me that way. He couldn't or wouldn't come up with any but does this thing where he retreats in to very general, vague language and doesn't actually say anything. He becomes like a fog machine.... I told the C that I reach into that fog and try to get something specific to put my hands on, but I can't find anything... She said, "When he expresses himself vaguely like he does, it's his way of walking out without actually having to leave. He's physically there but not there at the same time."




When your H refuses to answer you, I think that's his way of leaving without having to go anywhere. It's certainly congruent with his tendency to be a loner.
