Question - (22 September 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 22 September 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Hi all. My partner is so laid back i want to wind him up sometimes like a clock. lol. He does not gripe about anything or get annoyed only about the payments to his ex wife now and then. Will not discuss any problems or issues, just carries on doing what he is doing and practically ignores me.

We were on a holiday with his children a while back and we had a huge argument and things must have built up as he said some hurtful things that could have been avoided if he would have only agreed to talk earlier. Anyway, he said we were over and then did not speak to me for 2 days. just went and did things with the children. The atmosphere was too much to bare so i decided to get an early flight home and he did not stop me. I did not hear from him when i got home so i packed some things and left. 3 Days later and still no contact and he had arrived home and gone back to work. i contacted him to see what was going on because i think if i hadnt i probably wouldnt have heard from him again.

His explanation for not getting in touch was that he was angry at me going home and said i was not right in the head. He thinks i have mental issues. What the hell!!! I think he is the one with issues like not being able to communicate and showing any emotion. What do you guys think?

fishdish agony aunthe already said it was over, so I think his not expressing that he was going to be hurt by you leaving early until after the fact is just icing on the break up cake (as in, he's just using that as another excuse to say why it's not going to work out).

I think you're better off without him. He is the one with the issues, not you. All his problems are most likely connected to his past marriage, and maybe you now know why that marriage broke down too. He clearly just can't communicate with people, and it has affected him to the point where he is basically impossible to live with. He lets it build up, then he explodes. And then he blames other people.

Leave him out of your life.
