My relationship of just over a year is suffering from sulking. The sulking is manifesting with withholding affection. He doesn't want to discuss anything to do with any issurs which has led to his reaction. Any advice would be appreciated

I had a relationship like this Toffee. I live in France, he was in Uk. He'd fly over I'd pick him up from airport, happy to see him...there would follow two days (max) smiles and happiness. Then just as soon as I had to do some essential task like a bit of cleaning laundry or gardening, he would go all tight lipped and silent. He also crticised my friends. This happened every time he came over. Finally I said sorry this isn't going to work, at which point he flew into a rage and accused me of having mood swings! I told him to pack his bags.
I dodged a bullet there! Take my advice, sulkers just get worse...get your life back NOW!
