Reference:
He thinks by sulking he can punish others
Thought you were describing my OH then He's probably got away with the sulky behaviour with his Mother all his life, and she has ended up giving in and pandering to him......if I sulked my Mum used to tell me to buck op or she'd give me something to really sulk about, a crack round the earhole
That is a little close for home for me, He got away with sulky behaviour, due to his mother pandering and spoiling him. He now reverts to this when he wants his own way, or that things are not going good for him. A life lesson needs to be learnt and fast, otherwise he is going to be one miserable person, like my ex partner, who is alone and miserable and very depressed and will not speak to anyone for months at a time. Everything is always someone elses fault.
