I'm probably close to about a year into swallowing the pill. I have seen major improvements in my marriage and sex life. Swallowing the pill has likely saved my marriage. We don't fight or nitpick like we used too, and my wife in general seems a lot happier and no longer acts like she absolutely hates me. There is levels of dread there now and she often looks to me or asks me for direction now.
How do you propose handling sulking? My wife is a major sulker. Always has been. My wife is the princess type, but also can be very immature and irrational when shes in these moods, she's very childish. She really can sulk for days and days and at times it has been week long sulks. During this time, she either wont respond at all, or very minimal response. Obviously no sex or kissing or touching, and doesn't want to be around me. Will literally stay in bed all day on her phone or just in general wont want to be in my vicinity. She does this often when she doesn't get her own way. It's her standard go to weapon. She shows signs of depression when shes in these sulks.
Before swallowing the pill, like a bitch i would attempt any way to get her out of it. I would DEER, I would apologize, walk on eggs shells, try as hard as i could to make her happy, try talk her out of it, do nice things for her, with varying degrees of success.
Since swallowing the pill, I just STFU and go about my day, knowing that her emotions don't affect my emotions. Definitely seen improvements and less of the sulking. Still, it does happen occasionally.
This latest one was again over some trivial comment i said 4 nights ago which she took out of context. Regardless of the reasons, the sulks happen. Like a child not getting her way.
How do you suggest go about handling these? Since this sulk started 4 days ago, I have gone about my business, my usual happy self. I've gone to the gym each day, run on the beach, worked, kept busy around the house, kept OMS and doing stuff in the yard. I even went and caught up with a couple friend for lunch without her (she wouldn't come because she was sulking still).
Is it just a case of just ride it out, keep doing what i'm doing and let her get herself out of it? Does anyone else have a sulky SO?
tldr; How do you suggest handling the sulking marathon.
