My Pisces boyf drives me crazy with his sulking. The other day I asked him to clean up some coffee he'd spilt on my floor the day before and asked, nicely enough I thought, to be careful in future as it's a new carpet. He then sulks for about an hour, going on about how it could have been me that spilt it, which is highly unlikely since I don't drink tea or coffee. This is just one small example. Another one is when I said that a male friend's ex girlf was a bitch to him before they split, which she was, cheating and stuff, and he then accuses me of fancying him and sulks all through our night out. Although in his own words, he's not jealous.
I'm not a big sulker personally, so I find it a bit annoying really. If I ignore it, he sulks more. In the end I had to apologise for 'shouting' at him.
So there's nothing I can do?! Thought so...Oh well, will have to take it on the chin, already starting to master the art of switching off once he's on a roll, although being a Pisces he can always tell when I'm insincere or not listening.
I appreciate that DC. When he does sulk, for his own reasons, I do try and keep upbeat and not ignore him, but look past the sulking etc unless he wants to talk about it. I just don't like it when he sulks about something I'm upset about so that it turns around to him being the one who's upset. When I have genuinely upset him, I apologise and try and make it up to him. Just wish he could do the same.
I agree with DC's assesment. Every person is responsible for their own reactions. Nothing less, nothing more. I was realising this today before this post, and now this post made is perfectly clear.
Meaningless for whom? For example, I'm pretty sure if this guy would be left to do his own thing, he wouldn't think what is happening around him is meaningless. I think it boils down to "if the she fits" kind of response.
If he's sulking he usually wants to be left alone, so I do. I'm not there to reflect his emotions, and I know he appreciates the fact that I can stay happy even when he's down. I help him the best way I can and in a way that he wants. I've explained what bothers me, the turning it around when I'm upset. I don't understand this reaction when all he need do is either apologise if he feels he should or defend his actions. Not sulk and make out that he's the one upset by me being upset with him! That's just silly. And frustrating.
Probably the funniest sulk he's had is when we were visiting his sister. In the car he said he went to grab my hand but as I was looking out of the window I didn't see him. So he sulks for the whole afternoon. He tells me I'm being funny with him!!!! His sister was just laughing at him, telling him what a moaner he is!
So I think it's safe to say he is of the 'blamer' strand DC!
It's a fine balance one has to tread. Some sulkers need that hug, other's need time to cool off, and put things into perspective. At any rate, it's most likely good to change the subject, and keep things moving forward..
