After 7.5 years of marriage, for the first time DH won't speak to me. We have been fighting over the pettiest things. I take responsibility for being difficult and quick tempered.

I have no friends to talk to, just for the sake of venting. DH works 200 miles away, and I quit my job a few months ago, so I'm completely alone, with the exception of our toddler.

A couple of weeks ago, I was so angry with DH that I decided that it was probably best that I didn't speak to him for a day or two. I just wanted to calm down, before I spole out of anger. Well, now DH is returning the favor. He has not accepted any of my calls since Friday. He's usually pretty laid back, but I am getting no response from him.

I feel like I'm having a complete melt down. I really love my husband, don't want to get divorced, but I think he's ready to call it quits. I'm petrified that I've pushed my best friend away.

instead of playing these kinda games, how about just telling him that you are sorry.
Give him a deep and loving look and mean what you say.

When we were young and not married very long, we did those kinda things too but I must say that it's a waste of time.
It doesn't get anyone of you anywhere.............

It's ok to leave the room and just "cool off" for awhile if you're afraid to explode. I agree on that but not talking for days will have NO positive affect on your relationship.

It might take practice but you can for sure learn to communicate the right way.
If you are not sure why he is now reacting this way, ask him. Listen to what he tells you and think about it before you say anything at all.

I know it's difficult but I think it's the first step towards communicating the right way.

If you truely love your husband, TELL HIM!!!and share your feelings with him. (not only the bad ones)

It might also help you to get involved with other mothers in your area. Go swimming or do something recreational with your toddler and other mothers.If you don't know anyone how about a newpaper ad, looking for other mothers with
toddlers?
Get involved ChinUp, do things that will make you feel good about yourself!
