I recently went to Las Vegas with my boyfriend of one year for his friends wedding. I had a good time, until the journey home, when we has a small dissagreement and he then refused to talk to me for the entire journey. Since the trip things haven't been great and this has happened a couple of times since. I have asked for a bit of time apart to think things through, and he has taken it really badly. It might sound trivial but the flight was 8 hours long and it has made me see him in a different light. Do you think this may be a sign that he's not the sweetnatured, easy going boyfriend i thought he was?

Yes everything happens for a reason, and you have seen the other side of his conscience, however, you have been together for a year and would you jeopardise your long loving relationship because of a trifle argument which ensued during your 8 hour trip? I hope not, you should both discard your pride and try to come to a compromise because you are both acting immaturely. If you cannot tolerate each others' opinions at this stage, what happens when you find yourselves in a real feud?
He is still the easy-going boyfriend you held in high esteem, only you both acted childishly. Noone wants to be told to chill for a period of time, particularly after an argument, as this metaphorically implies that it is him who is in the wrong and not you. Try by all means not to make all arguments a "win win " situation but let arguments bring the best points out of both of you. I think you should bury the hatchet and make up, good luck.

Yes, indeed. My friend is seeing a guy who is a bit clingy, kind of, but not exactly in the same way.
This whole silent treatment is a form of passive aggressive behaviour and frankly, if you like to get on with your life and have a good time, the petty power trips will feel like a drain.
It's a form of controlling someone else and if you're having doubts now, it isn't going to get any better.
It's his patterns and alot of people do this, "ye olde silent treatment". If it were me, I'd say, "see ya".
If you're strong minded and attractive, you'll have another fella quicker than you can say "bacon fat"!

You should think twice before continuing in this relationship. You never mentioned what the argument was about, so at this end we can only go by what your saying and if the argument lasted for 8 hours. Then you both have a problem with communication skills and maybe you got a glimpse of the real him.
Good Luck.

Hmmm, perhaps you have seen him in a new light and he isn't the man you thought he was? But then again everyone has a side to them which comes out in the most unwanted way, perhaps this is what it was? I think the only way out of this is to talk to him straight as he is the only one who can put it straight. Tell him how you feel. If he really is a nice, understanding Boyfriend he'll listen to you and respect your feelings.

=) Good luck.

I think you should be careful. Cut your losses now. If it isn't working anymore, move on. You have to face it when a relationship is not working. Don't waste 3 or 4 more years trying to fix things. If you're no longer happy, let it go. Good luck.

Sounds like he is a little moody but it could have been return to reality syndrome after holiday. Sometimes people get a bit upset with having to go back to work and all that.
It's up to you what you want to do about this though.
Good luck.

Men are never the sweet guys we want to think they are. My opinion is probably pretty biased though. No one is ever going to be perfect. You have to figure out what things you refuse to settle on and what things have room for compromise.
