My Husband is giving me the silent treatment. Today is the second day of no words... LOL Im not very good at being silent.
So do you give your spouse the silent treatment? Do you last long? How long is the longest for you? Do you feel its an effective way to diffuse an argument?
No, we don't do that. I would break him of that little habit quickly. I would take the kids and go somewhere overnight. Let him come home to an empty house while I am chillin on the beach.....bet I would get a call or text quickly! Or go to a car lot and text him a picture of you and the car you are about to purchase.....he will respond!
My aunt is getting it. I usually don't do well because i'm not usually mad at someone for a long time. I'm childish but I know that will get her ;)
Quoting brettsmomma:Im not giving him the silent treatment he is giving it to me lol
Quoting kngarber:
Hell no....you never give a man the silent treatment....thats like a reward. ;)
However, the longer I'm in the relationship, the more I've relaxed. I just don't care about arguments that much anymore. We always eventually come to some kind of compromise. We always make up. An argument won't split us up. So what do I care? It's just another argument. Let him bitch and blow off the steam and just wait for it to reach the compromise time, and after that is sexy time. Yay! Lol
ya we do that. usually it only lasts for a few hours tho. I think the longest it lasted was a few days. but thats if we have a really nasty horrible fight. which doesn't happen often. in 10 years I think its only happened twice maybe. but its not like we are giving eachother the silent treatment. its just that we need time to cool off and think. we will both talk to our son. just not eachother. it happens. not often tho. usually we talk it out and move on.
i hate the silent treatment. i never start it, but my husband is a PRO. he doesn't do it often, but when he does... argh.
it usually does diffuse the argument, if only because once i stop trying to cajole him out of it and am like 'fine,' and ignore him too, he can't stand it and gets over whatever his malfunction was. then he's all sweet.
it's a technique i revile. it's petty and stupid and juvenile.
sorry, hubs. but i've said this to your face, too. ;)
Do you ever get hit on even looking a mess?
Why inflict this silly cosmetic pain on a baby!?!
