Anybody else's wife sulk unnecessarily?
Discussion
Why do women do it?
66 and 64, just had a super holiday in Australia, flew to Adelaide, booze cruise train to Perth, back to Brisbane to see daughter and grandson (2 1/2), back to NZ late last Friday....
and another monumental sulk. No conversation, almost no engagement since last Saturday.
No money worries, yet here we are...day 4.
No faffing, not keen on shopping, sensible with money, but oh boy does she like to have a good sulk.
Suggestions welcome.
After a fantastic time away, including visiting family she has come back to her hum drum life and won't see the family again for a long while, that is why she has a mood on.
My wife used to get the grump on for a few days when back from a holiday, just leave her to it, she'll be OK in a few days.

I had a girlfriend who was an Olympic grade sulker. Didn't last long. My current OH (with her 13 years as of yesterday) doesn't sulk but is an Olympic grade faffer. Basically your stuck with one thing or another.
I think it's like when you're speccing a new car and you want the enhanced bluetooth with wireless phone charging option, but it only comes as part of a package that also includes keyless entry, which you don't want. If you want the no-faff option it comes as a package that includes sulking. If you want to avoid sulking then you don't spec that pack but then you don't have faff-free. If you go for an older model from before the point when these silly packages were introduced, you might find one that was specced with faff-free and no-sulk by its original owner, but the BJ provision has expired and costs a lot to extend on a monthly basis.

You probably put your fork down on the plate the wrong way and this has created a butterfly effect of immense disproportion. 66 and 64, just had a super holiday in Australia, flew to Adelaide, booze cruise train to Perth, back to Brisbane to see daughter and grandson (2 1/2), back to NZ late last Friday....

Time for an upgrade to a 2005 model?

my wife has only just finished sulking because I was mildly intoxicated on Saturday evening (I blame the golf club captain pouring wray and nephews down my throat), didn't keep her updated on my plans, dragged her and the baby out for a curry and then made a load of noise throwing up said curry and wray and nephews that night

A bit like poking a bear but have you asked her what she is sulking about ?66 and 64, just had a super holiday in Australia, flew to Adelaide, booze cruise train to Perth, back to Brisbane to see daughter and grandson (2 1/2), back to NZ late last Friday....

Mind you 4 days of peace and quiet I suspect you haven't felt like asking her just yet.

Not surprised TBH, I'm irritated and not even married to you.

In fairness I still made it up to do all the baby's feeds/nappy changes so she was grateful at least
Does this include the model that sulks because they dreamed you had some indiscretion with another model . Three days of silence and messages via her child before I found out what the problem was .
Not as bad as when my sister visited with her attractive and busty friend who I had known for years . Wife had the hump for a week, things didn't improve when said busty friend bought wifes Mini when we sold it because of her needing a larger car .
