Silent treatment

Have you been in a relationship, became upset with your partner, and gave them the silent treatment? Giving them no love because of an argument you had? Shutting down on them because of a misunderstanding? Have you started the silent treatment?

As we begin a new relationship we talk about change. We talk about what we would do differently in certain situations because we have grown as a person. Soon as a situation occurs, we go back to doing the same things, giving our partner the silent treatment when we become upset. I understand that you’re not happy at the moment, I understand that you can’t forget what happen, but not communicating with your partner can’t help your relationship. If it’s something that you truly can’t get over, move on. I’m not saying you have to get over anything in a day or two, but holding grudges for months and months can’t be a good thing for your relationship.

Is Love Necessary For A Marriage To Work?

Recently, I was watching an Alicia Keys video with Common in it. The video really made me stop and think about how we need to embrace our relationship. We all know things happen, and you will have arguments, but not telling someone you love them because you’re upset doesn’t sit well with me. Tomorrow is not promised, enjoy your relationship and enjoy your life. You have to understand that going into a relationship, there will be ups and downs but know that using the silent treatment method to get your point across may not be the right way. You have to enjoy the moments that you can share with your love ones because there will come a time when they will be gone. How would you feel then?

    The silent treatment works and men can’t stand it…LOL at least the ones i’ve dealth with. Would you want the silent treatment or arguing?

    LOL…Women need to know that yeah, men dont like the silent treatment because they think they cant get any as long as she has that funky attitude…They could give a damn about you being quiet cuz thats what the hell they wanted anyway! Men are physical/technical characters, never emotional..You can THINK that treatment is ‘working’, but it doesnt. The woman hasnt gotten her point across, and that man is no more ‘sensitive’ than the day before she got quiet with him…He’s most concerned with whether or not the sex is on..Period. Ladies dont be fooled by the hype…
    Movin’ right along….

    I used it on a lady one time and she KNEW what she did to me when she cheated on me….a few days later she did that one thing she didn’t want to do to me in a SEXUAL way, and then I hollered YESSSS! We’re was talking again…..;)

    Absolutely I have. Silence is the ultimate weapon. Much more effective than all that ranting and raving and arguing. I am NOT going to sit there and argue and yell and all that. And if a woman tries to come with all that loud talking I am going to mentally put the volume on mute and pay her no mind until she calms down and decides to discuss civilly rather than try to fight.

    Trust, when the silence script gets flipped women can’t stand it either LOL.

    I dont use the silent treatment because my father was not a glass maker. Therefor I am not transparent and my SO cant tell if something is wrong. I, Like a grown woman, tell him what is wrong, he, like a grown man..Fixes it. I dont have patience to be playing these damn reindeer games.

    Esoteric_Dredz,
    I dont know man….I personally dont mind the ‘silent treatment’ being pulled on me. I am all for take your time, get over your attitude, do what you gotta do etc…And if hes doing it quietly…MO’ POWER TO HIM! That just means im watching the playoffs in PEACE!

    women can’t pull this off because they always have to have the last word! also, when men refuse to engage in the BS women go crazy!

    I used to do that; back when I didn’t know any better. As I’ve matured, I realize that it’s not fair to me to keep things on my chest and its not fair to him to not know how I feel. Now I may be quiet so that I can get my thoughts together but its not to spite him. I want to get my point across in a way where he can take it. That’s what my silence is for and nothing else.

    The silent treatment doesn’t work. Every woman who has tried it on me has gotten their A***ses dumped. Divorced my last wife for attempting it.
