Is it possible to live with your partner without communicating?

@PoetryNEmotion
Basically not carrying on a lengthy convo at all. Just sticking with the basics like weather.

@Sunnyday Thank you. Is he angry? Or just not caring to communicate? Was he always this way?

@PoetryNEmotion he was not like this in the beginning. He empathized how he was so sensitive, and expressed how much he didn’t understand men who don’t admit when they were wrong and so on and so forth. He still doesn’t get angry angry for no reason, but when his manhood is being challenged he gets very defensive and upset.

@Sunnyday Something caused the change. How are you challenging his manhood? Did you fully discuss this problem with him?

@PoetryNEmotion once when we were in NY we went shopping to China town for some sweatshirts for the kids. They carried sizes that were very inconsistent and my H got very annoyed when the guy working there. The man thought we were being too picky and said something under his breath. My H got very irritated and mad and started saying insensitive things. . I thought my H was being very rude. Once we left the store I said you should be nicer. These people hardly make any money and explained that the guys himself didn’t know why their medium looked like a small. He immediately got so upset and started raising his voice and said he refused to treated with disrespect by the man and became vocally aggressive and agitated with me. I got upset that he was making such a big deal about a shirt size and lack of customer service he was receiving at a small China town store I asked to go back to the hotel. We got into more argument once we got there and I said I’m not going to engage with him anymore and I said I didn’t feel like he was even a man. That set him off. He started calling me disgusting, mean, that I did not deserve the engagement ring, etc etc.

@Sunnyday You could have backed out then. Disrespect is what you let him fo to you. He is undesirable. Why did you stay?

@PoetryNEmotion my son, 3 at the time, fell in love with him. His real dad lives half across the country and has only seen him 2-3 times. This man is like a father to him. He is really good to him. That’s the only reason I’m staying.

@Sunnyday Yet you are teaching your son how a marriage is not to be. Is that proper? One should never deny respect nor common courtesy. You will regret what is taught. This is not good.
