Sulking is not the exact equivalent of pagtatampo.
In Filipino culture, tampo is less frowned upon than sulking is in American culture. It is considered an acceptable expression of hurt feelings. Women are likely to be matampuhin.
When a usually affectionate woman all of a sudden turns cold and it's because of something you did, then she has a right to magtampo. It's like a form of anger that's mild, but still has to be assuaged.
