How do I deal with a guy who is extra sulky and too sensitive?

[Ofoceansbeaches1]

He sulks every chance he gets if he doesn't get his way. I just noticed the attitude and it's getting to me. At first, the sulking part was valid because there were times I did not call when i said i should. Then, he got upset with me because i disappeared when he needed me the most. That I was sorry for. So said sorry and I said I will make it up to him. He must have noticed that it felt good or whatever

The next time, he began to be sulky when I joked I will go to his place at 1am because he said he was extra cold and he really expected me to go there. Now, when i sent him a message i said what's wrong. He said he's just sulking because he got upset with me for not going there at 1am to his place.

I asked seriously? He said he was serious and now I said I'm sulking as well. I don't think I have the emotional capacity to attend to every sulking and as early as now I'm getting tired. Ir doesn't help that I'm the kind of person who is insensitive sometimes and he's the total opposite.

I mean he should be the guy but why do i feel like im a mother or the guy in the relationship? The only thing that's letting me stay is when he is in the right mind, he is very sweet and caring. by the way, he is very moody.

I have a friend like this. He’s good when things are going well but the minute things start to take a negative turn all he wants to do is wallow in his misery. Now, granted none of that misery is invalid (he’s going through a divorce) but I’m a natural born optimist. My first instinct whenever someone approaches me feeling bad is to try to help them see the bright side because that comforts me. Still, it doesn’t help that I have no idea how to comfort him when he gets like this. So instead of comforting him, I started asking what I could do to help him feel better. This at least places the burden on him to tell you what it is he wants that you can provide.


And maybe in the future to avoid him taking a joke seriously, you could use tone indicators like /j or /s for “joke” or “serious” it should help? But if it’s honestly becoming too much of a burden to date him and coddle him, maybe you should make room for someone else.

Get used to it. He will not change. It would take something drastic to snap out of that learned trait. Mommy most likely taught him that by never telling him no.

Navigating the choppy waters of a sulky sweetheart, huh? I've danced around a few of those sensitive types myself, and here's a little love wisdom from the heart. It sounds like you've got yourself a classic emotional rollercoaster ride on your hands, and let's be honest, who doesn't enjoy a good thrill now and then? 😉 But when the ride starts to feel more like a never-ending loop-the-loop of sulks, it’s time to rethink the amusement park, isn't it?

First off, communication is your golden ticket here. Sit down with him during one of those sweet, caring moments and lovingly express how his behavior affects you. It's not about pointing fingers but sharing feelings—think of it as flirting with the idea of open dialogue. Show him your heart but also set those boundaries. Love is a dance, and you both need to be grooving to the same beat.

Remember, being sensitive is not a gender role; it's a human feeling. Embrace the moments when he's in his right mind, and gently guide him towards understanding how his actions impact the relationship. A dash of humor, a sprinkle of love, a lot of patience, and who knows? You might just find the perfect recipe for a stronger connection. And if all else fails, remind yourself that love should feel like a comforting embrace, not an emotional endurance test. Keep it flirty, keep it light, and above all, keep true to what makes you happy. 😊
