Question

So my wife’s been giving me the silent treatment for like 4 days now and I didn’t even know what I did wrong until she finally said I forgot to text her when I’d be home late which okay sure I can admit I forgot but she didn’t say anything just shut down completely and now she’s sleeping on the couch and won’t really look at me when we’re both in the kitchen and it’s so tense I can’t focus at work at all 😭

I texted her like hey babe everything ok and she said fine so I said can we talk and she said not right now so I’m just stuck here going over every little thing I might’ve messed up this week like did I not compliment her outfit did I leave my shoes by the door again idk I’m losing my mind

My mom always said don’t air your dirty laundry outside the house so I never talk about stuff like this but I’m so frustrated and lonely already and we’re supposed to be going to her parents’ for dinner Sunday and I know they’ll notice something’s off and then my wife will probably act like everything’s perfect while giving me side-eye under the table which makes it worse haha

I just don’t get how something small blows up like this

So I've been in similar situations with my partner and ngl it's super frustrating when you don't know what's going on. Like I forgot to call her when I was running late one time and she got pretty upset too. What worked for me was giving her space but also letting her know I'm there to talk when she's ready. I sent her a text saying hey I'm sorry I forgot and I feel bad you're upset can we talk about it when you're feeling better. Didn't push her to respond or anything just let her know I'm thinking about her. Took a few days but we finally talked it out and it was a big relief. Try doing something small to show you care like bringing her favorite coffee or something it might help break the ice 💪
