That's when you remember everything that turns them on and make it rain with affection.

i usually act childishly and pout until i get her attention.

I agree. Playing games is lame, ignoring, pouting whatever you call it. I know the c word (communication) sounds like a cure all, but if we are all grown ups here, it is the best way to handle the differences between two people who want to make a relationship work. Like many other posters, I would have to agree, if my so is distancing themselves from me, I most likely would know if I had done something.
Having said that, however, each person is responsible for their own behavior and if you choose to pout/ignore be prepared to have your so tell you to hit the road.

define "temporarily"

sometimes it is a good thing to bite your tongue for a while, take some deep breaths and count to ten a few times before saying something....errrr

regrettable

It depends...if they r ignoring me cos i have done summit to piss them off and i know im wrong, then i will be nice and snuggle up and say 'sowwwwwy'!

If however i dont think they have reason to ignore me, i will leave em stewing and go do some housework or summit to get rid of my own frustrations!

Snuggle up - pride kills a lot of godd relationships

I go off and do my own thing, when they work through whatever it is, get out of there bad mood, or whatever else, they have my number and know where I live, etc.

I stick my nose up in the air.......because I can IGNORE 10 TIMES WORSE!!

ignoring someone is childish games
