I get it a lot!
It's not the easiest situation for a Brit to come to terms with to be fair, as it doesn't seem to make sense a lot of the time.
She gets upset because I have hurt her feelings (normally in a fairly minor matter), and then withdraws and refuses to allow me to 'make it up' to her.
In flowchart type terms it might go :
Get hurt = get tampo = refuse affection or any attempt to 'make up' = husband decides to ignore it (hard to do if you're a nice guy) = worse tampo.
It's a no win scenario for either party.
