Let's talk about the "silent treatment"
It is beyond me as to why anyone would think that the "silent treatment" is an excellent way to communicate. Talking then "not talking" will not make someone drop everything, rush to your side and worship at your "altar of awesomeness".
It just makes you look stupid.
Because the "silent treatment" is manipulation. It is nasty, base energy and you should never participate in it. I have heard it described as "a little death" but I've also heard an orgasm described like that too and I know which one I prefer. But I digress. ..manipulation in any form to get what you want is not ok. And it doesn't stop. Like physical violence once a person has a taste for it " it becomes their addiction. Not getting what they want this weekend? No talkies. Haven't got their way in a discussion? No talkies. People were mean to them at work today? No talkies.
It's not about why someone is giving you the "silent treatment" the point which you need to take in, is that they are.
I could talk more about how toxic it is and damaging long-term to your self esteem or about how it makes you doubt yourself until you get the courage to walk away but I think I'll just leave you with what a girlfriend of mine emailed to her ex-husband.. ..
"Next time can you text me to tell me you are giving me the silent treatment. I didn't realise it for a month. . "
