A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend pouts. He give the silent treatment and will hold on to TINY arguments for hours. If I say the wrong word he completely gets bent out of shape and gives me the silent treatment. I can be sarcastic at times, as well as him. If he is sarcastic with me I think it is funny or I am over it in 5 minutes, but if the table is turned he will be cold for an entire day! SO FRUSTRATING!

Example, this morning he keeps IMing me about a girl that he has been talking to from highschool..I ask how often they talk and he goes of on a rant about me being jealous?? I told him to go back and read the IMs and that I never said anything or hinted to anything about being jealous..I just asked a question.

It is almost as if he THINKS I am acting one way (even if I am not and nothing I do points in that direction) he gets completely bent out of shape and I am left walking on egg shells. (I even said this last paragraph to him..it only made it worse)

So I told him that I got a modeling gig today and he doesn't even congrat me? Sigh..looks like pouting time again...

What gives??!

Hey I recently had a boyfriend with the same problems but I told him I couldn't stand it any more and I wanted it to change or we should think about breaking up, then the next day he left. He used the silent treatment to control me and it really made me feel bad (afraid, sick, like he was punishing me and excluded) so he really wasn't worth it.

saltwater agony auntWhy are you still with him?

Wow, if I had a girlfriend who was "model material" I'd be well chuffed.

Go and find someone more deserving of you...

He's a spoiled brat.

I bet he is exactly the same with his mother.

If you choose to stay with a brat then he is going to continue to be a brat.

Good Luck!! xx
