I always wondered, in a purely intellectual way, how his sulks end. I mean, I can't be the only one he goes silent with when he's angry or upset. But, when he's done this with me in the past, I have always gone out of my way to keep the lines of communication open, to make it easy for him to resume contact. This time I didn't. We've played this game too many times, he and I.
It isn't that I don't still admire his moral compass in business matters, his dedication to his daughters, his clear-eyed way of viewing my problems and all the other things that make him wonderful. It's just that at times, he can be soooo oversensitive, so high maintenance, that he leaves me weary.
Oh well, after almost a month, he's back in touch. That's the important thing. I guess I can be just as childish.
Good lord that is why i never got along with males..i never was the one who wanted to mend the fence first...guess i should work on my attitude with them. but at 67 i think it is too late ha ha.
