    That's right hun. He's great at twisting the argument, and then giving me the silent treatment.

    I usually end up apologising, even though I'm not in the wrong because he knows I cant stand the atmosphere in the house :o

    He's currently being 'the perfect father' reading with DS and I'm sat here on my own. No-one has said a word to me in 2 hours :mad:

    (((((HUGS))))) Spud, my OH is king of twisting an argument too. I wouldnt apologise and just carry on as normal as though you have no idea what all the fuss is about, make him feel stupid for still going on about the argument.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    git!
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    He doesnt go on, thats the problem.

    He just stays silent for days on end, and when he finally does start talking, it's too late to discuss the original argument, because several days have passed.

    Bloody men :mad:

    days on end how the hell can he do that.

    Admittedly I could talk for England but in your own home, why be like that?

    and with your wife? I mean whats the point?

    Sorry Spud, I have just had my fill of irritating childish people, I am sure your OH is NOT like this all the time. I honestly don't think its fair tho, that you are the "bad guy" when you are not in the wrong!

    do not apologise.

    He doesnt speak for days :eek: I am sorry but that is really not on!!!!!:mad:

    We have always had a rule that we never go to bed without resolving an argument just incase one of us dies in our sleep, its a bit of a strange and macabre reason but it does make us stick to the rule.................just in case:o

    OH KNICKERS!

    then go with what Lou said. what would happen if you behaved as tho nothing had happened? I mean surely he doesn't ignore you?

    I know it sounds a bit bonkers, and i don't have kids but I would have thought that having a teenager it would be really important to have your ground rules sorted? cos she will more then likely start to push at boundaries and play sides. Its not fair that you have to be the tough one who says no and then he swans in all yes to everything.

    :mad:
