My husband deals with his anger by either exploding or giving me the silent treatment for days. Then he will just resume life as if it never happened? I believe two people can talk through just about anything.....Please help!!! Thank you.

Just sit down with him and calmly ask him what he is upset about. Do not yell or nag at him just be a good listener. When he tells you how he is feeling and why listen and do not argue or fight with him. He also may need some sort of counseling and help to learn how to communicate with you better and you with him.

Your husband has control issues and you need to stop this behavior. The next time he gives you the silent treatment and tries to resume life, tell him you'll talk to him when he's ready to discuss the matter; then give him the silent treatment in return. If he explodes on you, continue the silent treatment until he stops behaving like a spoiled brat and starts acting like an adult.

Above all else don't sit down and talk to him during dinner. That's only going to cause him to get mad. Let him enjoy his meal. Let him rest for about an hour after the meal and then perhaps you can talk to him about this issue.
Apparently you are doing something that aggravates him alot, so you best be getting to the bottom of this issue. Another cause may be a lack of intimacy on your part towards him. Could be alot of causes.

Tell him go ahead and give you the silent treatment, it's not your fault he's not adult enough to handle things like a real man and resorts to immature behavior.

Just sit down with him at dinner or somewhere, and ask him.
