Marriage problems

This week has been crazy and full of madness for me. If you are married you'll know what I am talking about. My husband and I just had an argument over a small matter and that took us in a long heated place. He didn't talk to me for like 3 days now other than asking me things related to kids or his food. I'm soo fed up and believe I don't deserve to be treated this way. What should I do?

It is really hard to swallow our pride. But I think, we should be really bowing down sometimes coz our relationship affects our children. We should always provide an healthy, loving environment for the whole family. Go talk to your husband and tell him what you want. Let him understand you side. Hug and kiss him. I'm sure he'd love that.

Yes, your advise will work for a week but then again he goes back to his ways. I can't just be apologizing or hugg and kiss him just to make him feel like he's right and it's ok for him to treat me that way. He needs to stop this or else I'm gone.

If you think that you have given him enough time to change his ways and yet remains to be the same and you no longer feel the love, then the last option would be to ending your msrriage. Are you ready for that?

I couldn't believe how can you sleep together in one bed and not talking for days. Is he that childish to ignore and treat you that way? I don't think I can stand living like that. Why not talk to him first and ask what he is acting that way. It is better to settle the matter the earliest time possible.

Love being mutual and that it takes 2 to clap, I think you should stop blaming or find faults with yourself. Surely, what you are trying to do with your effort to protect what's left of this relationship is correct but remember that no amount of persuasion, influence or coercion could resurrect a man when he does not love you, loose something when it has never existed or fix something when there is never something to fix in the first place. I believe that there is a need of self reflection on his part for whatever is bothering him and a conviction in him that he will need to work on his communications with the family and especially with you. Since you are a working mother and an imperfect human being, I believe he needs to be mature enough to understand that there will be a need to adjust and work around on the issues that he is unhappy about with you. A relationship stands on a basic principle of give and take because no one is perfect and 100% right. A level of generosity, sincerity and tolerance is essential. At the end of the day, the relationship that the both of you have here is not just about looking at each other but looking together in one direction.

I would let it go. Ask myself how I would treat this other person if I really loved them, and not how I expect them to treat me. Love is the only solution. Bitterness will only make yourself bitter. It won't hurt anyone else as much as you.

You are right, you don't deserve to be treated that way. i thin your husband is quite proud for not even apologizing and just ignoring you.. What is the small matter anyway. No matter who started it, or who was wrong, one of you should aplogize first and mend the problem.

How about packing your suitcase and leaving? If your husband is such a childish person and ignoring you for days now it will only get worse in the future. Which means you will be miserable for the rest of your life.
