My guy and I got into an argument last night over something that's 'minor'.It was late yesterday and I did not speak to him all night long. He really hurt my feelings with a comment he made. So this morning he acts as if nothing is wrong, just goin about regular routine and completely ignoring that had happened yesterday. I told him in order for him to forgive him is that he would apologize for hurting my feelings but instead of doing that, he would rather ignore the whole thing altogether and act as if it never happened. Why, why, why does he do it? Anyone else having problem with their man? Any good way to resolve it without ignoring it?

It's true that when Men prefer that way after a big argument, it's clear that they're trying to get out and forget the problem. they believe that apologizing will make them lesser of a man and be more guilty of it. we had some problems like that before, and i kept telling him that he always apologized if i feel hurt, otherwise, it might get worse for the both of us.

Hi I guess it's just a man thing I think! Actually looking at him ignoring the situation seems like he realize his mistake and it's just his ego that stopping him. Don't get into it too much, he maybe upset atoo. So, let a day or two pass then you can slowly tell how you really felt that day. Don't rush into things, stay calm and things will work out the best!

Hey, It reminds me of one incident in which i was involved. I had an argument with my friends about something, which i don’t remember really. I must have said something very bad which made a friend of mine cry. But honestly i did not meant to hurt my friend; it was just a usual discussion, which took an ugly turn. Next day my friends were ignoring me and I had no clue what was that for . I only knew when an another friend explained it to me, and i apologized immediately. Things like that can happen and we have to take it sportingly. Some guys are really stubborn (Including me) and such incidents can happen . What i would suggest u is when he is in good mood, u give him some good spanking and make him realize that u can really kick some butt . Cheers, Tutul

maybe he just want to say that okay, its over...let's forget about it! hehehe... my husband are also like that sometimes...that when we have a fight...he just keep quite, don't talk to me that much and the next day acts as if nothing happens...and that's killing me! i don't know what he's thinking and i don't understand him and that makes me feel more angry... and when i ask him why he acts like that...he just told me that he just don't want to burn more flames...and he's just waiting for me to be calm and he's worried that if he talks to me when i am still in a bad mood...the fight will just start again...what he doesn't know is that what he do just makes me more angry...oh men! we have different thoughts on this matter. for me, all i want is for him to say sorry and that's it...but it does not happen...it will take some days before he said sorry to me... maybe that's most men are like...just observation on men around me...my father also acts like that before... and we, women are here to understand...aw!

Maybe just because he didn't know how deeply he have hurt you,if he knew your present feeling,he may apologize to you immediately,you should communicate with him and let him know how you care him.

The solution to your problem is in your question itself. Just ignore it. Arguments achieve nothing. It only creates stress and animosity. Silence is the best medicine to people who are prone to arguments. And believe me, silence is a great irritant to people who expects others to counter his arguments. Instead of making you mad, you will make him go mad by remaining silent.

Actually they suffer from ego. They are not ready to accept they hurt others or say sorry. so they behave like this.It is something I have seen in case of many. They think they can act whatever they like with women.

If it's a minor thing, just let it go, no big deal. It's meaningless to argue about who is right or wrong. Too much argument would hurt your relationship.

he choose to ignore it coz he might be guilty and we men find it hard to admit that we are wrong and rather choose to ignore it... Well if he cant face this simple problem that you have then might as well ask him why he reacted this way by then you will know why he choose to ignore it ... there are lots of ways for you to make your man apologies to you it might not be an indirect way but there are also lots of ways to say sorry... The things you need to do really would depend on you my friend coz you know the whole story and all we could do to you is offer you advice but in the end it would still be your choice what to do.... hope both of you could resolve this matter ....silence can be a great advice too.... that works for me always...

Hahahahaha...Helscream is funny about the whole silence thing. If YOU wanna talk about it - tell him that YOU WANT TO TALK about it and don't pretend as if nothing happened. You NEED to let him know that it's important to you. You have to initiate the conversation because if you ignore it, and pretend like nothing happened - one day, you will have the same argument, he will say the same thing, and you will be back to this old one. And because this old one was never resolve, it will come up again! So you might as well make sure that you resolve this one - that can prevent a similar argument in the future. You see, men don't like to talk, and they HATE apologizing. But if he loves you, then he'll talk and apologize because he knows that it's important to you. I know - my man is the same way. So when I need an apology - I tell him. Back in the day I REALLY have to ask for it - now he's sort of just say he's sorry without me asking. Though sometimes - after an argument - he still pretends that nothing happened or just ignore it. And as soon as I tell him that we need to talk about - he talks. =) Good luck!

Yes I have had this problem in the past.. What I think is the problem is that he was "wrong". And having to face that fact, and also that he hurt you.. Regardless if it is just words they still hurt.. He will avoid the topic just to try to get away with it... If you can not let it go, bring the issue up again, not during another fight.. In a day or so, confront him and tell him again how you feel.. This may show him that you just can not allow that to be said to you and it hurt.. its not something that you can just brush off your shoulders and get back up, kind of thing.. If you wait to bring it up during another fight, he will not hear your true feelings.. He could assume you are just bringing it up because of the current argument.

hi DNA, i know it is your right to ask him the reason why he behaved this way, be easy on him though, don't force him to reply, he will feel as you are nagging and men absolutely don't like to get nagged...
