Should I be the bigger person?

My husband and I are in a rocky marriage. I love him, and I am really trying to make things work. Our biggest problem is him not communicating with me among other things. However, we got into a huge arguement a week and a half ago and we haven't spoke to each other since. We live in the same house and we've been ignoring each other. I'm tired of it and I am horny. I want to give in and seduce him when he comes home from work, but I don't want to lose the fight and seem weak or wrong because of the arguement we had. I think he wants me too, but I think he wants me to give in first. Should I be the bigger person? Or should I wait for him to give in? I also have been tempted to send him a text, just saying "I love you"...nothing else. Which would you do?

Update:

I chose to be the bigger person. I text him and I put that I was tired of being treated like a stranger, and that I was even more tired of treating him like one. I did let him know that I missed and loved him. I do feel better knowing that I made an effort. We argued because I felt like he wasn't talking to me like a child, and I felt disrespected. We were to attend an event and I backed out at the last minute and made him attend alone...he was mad because we paid a lot of money for the tickets and I didn't use mine.

    Send him the text. Sometimes it is the easiest way out of a standoff like this. Good luck..

    Have you ever heard of the book called One Minute Manager? Well, it basically says a good manager should give one minute reprimands and frequent one minute praises to get the best work out of their employees.

    I think perhaps you should consider doing this with him. The Bible says not to go to let the sun set with you still angry and also, be angry, but sin not.

    Unless the argument was over a major issue like cheating, child abuse, or something criminal, I think you should not let this continue. It's not about being right or who gives in first - it's about getting your point across - your hurt, displeasure, disappointment and it sounds like you already did that.

    If it was an important issue (not like what he forgot at the grocery store) then, did it get resolved or is it going to come up again? If not resolved, then prepare and propose a temporary solution until it can be worked out later (maybe in a month or so) when you've both calmed down.

    Yes, send the text and prepare a celebration that it's over. Act normal, look cute. If he asks, you can say something like "it's time to get over it for both of us."

    If he was cheating - that's a whole different matter. You can't just drop it - it has to get fixed.

    Joy to you!!

    Wow - the joys of marriage, huh? You don't have to agree to have a relationship. No one wants to lose the fight. If you make the first move, then he should make some concession too if he wants to end it - I would. He's really a lucky guy to have his wife go over a week w/o talking to him or raggin him about it :o) Neither one of you has to "give in", but I'd say you're overdue to just move past it.

    What would I do? I never went over a day without trying to resolve a problem - waiting was just to let things cool down. But then I'm no longer married. We are still friends though.

    Like Dr. Phil always says, Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?

    Be the bigger person, but not just because you are horny.

    If I were to text him, I'd probably go with "I miss us...can't wait to see you."

    Send the text, maybe add "I miss you". Sometimes it doesn't matter who is right or wrong. Go ahead and be the bigger person, if it doesn't pay off, at least you tried and you will know you did the right thing.

    Your married it shouldnt be some competition. Who cares if you were right or wrong. I think you should be the bigger more mature person and give in and apologize for whatever the argument was. Then maybe you can have make up sex after!!

    Luckly this is a great solution for premature ejaculation http://endprematureejaculation.enle.info/?Yj0g

    A guy always cums fast when its their first time. and especially if he's been waiting for a long time. Guys are erect at least 5 times a day so what I would do is some foreplay until he ejaculates or the both of you for that matter its not fair that he has orgasms and you don't so get him to do you first and then once you finish he will be more than ready for his orgasm. then use a condom because that cuts down the sensations for him if he feels he is about to come prematurely then tell him to come out and do some more foreplay on you so he has time to calm down. the condom should work but if you want a baby tell him to take the condom of before ejaculation and then finish in you. the longer you wait to make him come with foreplay the quiker it will be because he has to get it out of him.

    He also does need time because you are the only one he has been with so once he gets used to it, you can really enjoy it once he gets his techniques down pat. Tell him what you like. Get some books and videos also until you both are experienced. Or you could even have a quickie in the morning, when you get home and then at night. he will diffently last longer because his mind has been free twice already. You get on top of him and you control the situation. Also my boyfriend tells me that he thinks about none sexual things for a while to help control him, tell him to think about a sport or something that calms him. If that doesn't work then just do IT over until you are satisfied

    Would you rather be right, or would you rather be happy???

    Ignoring your husband won't make the problem go away. In fact, the longer you two don't speak, the harder it is going to be to straighten things out.

    What's so important that you just HAVE to win the argument anyway??

    Come on lady just give in and start loving each other. Life is too short for nonsense like this.

    Nothing wrong with telling your husband you love him. I say go for it. Tell him you are wanting to put that behind you and want to move on. If it has nothing to do with cheating or doing drugs or stealing or abuse then go have some fun with you hubby.
