Have to say though, after so lopng I do feel for op. atext to say he's ok but cooling down, or whatever, would be considerate.

I'd say that if he's left his mobile at home he'll be back.

It's so difficult to make generalisations about what people 'normally' do as everyone is different. My DH and I very rarely row about anything but when we do the last thing I'd want to do is walk away, I always want to stay and let him have it with both barrels or sulk until he apologised!;)

Arguments are power struggles - so if you told him not to go, it probably made him more determined. Next time - relax - let him go - it's an argument. Let him deal with it and he'll calm down.

I can cope if my oh leaves because I now know if I become desperate, that he'll just run off. Now I tend to be a bit more philosophical and just think - well he'll be back when he's ready - if you get used to the idea and give him time - it'll come right.

Sometimes it's good to have a big arguement - it's like a storm, the air feels so good after.

Its usually always the bloke that storms out isnt it.. what if women did? God there would be uproar!

Dont give in to his tantrums OP, hopefully this will be a one off. Enjoy your evening, lock the door when its time for your bed. God, they are like children!

when we row my OH will often go off and 'walk' his anger off. carry on with your normal evening hun. sometimes when he comes in he wants to talk - other times he goes off to bed in a huff! talk when he is ready!
