The Silent Treatment

[Rita_Poon]

I put a stop to any arguments or silent treatments about 6-7 years a go. We'd go a week not speaking. It was a terrible thing to do. The kids saw it and everything.

I just said to her, enough's a enough. Most of the time it was my fault, so now I've learned to bite my tongue and not say what I think. Also now when we disagree (very rarely) I am the bigger person and apologise so we talk again straight away..

In all honesty we've not argued or fallen out for a very long time, and life is better for it..

Do you ever get the idea she just wants to dole out a bollocking now and again? Any excuse will do, 'you are having it, and woe betide you dare speak back!'

Brave stuff admitting you've upset a female. There'll be people swinging in here soon to imagine you're obviously a misogynist so that they can call you that and signal their own superiority by calling you out. Later on they'll show their missis/partner/girlfriend/inflateable doll this thread and what they've called someone to curry favour and/or attention.

What have you done? If its like me you've probably put a mug in the wrong place in the dishwasher that's in the kitchen I built her. Don't you ever listen to the daily 10 minute tirade about how to fill it?

Not at all, she's extremely non confrontational.. To the point it annoys me!! I don't think she's ever shouted at me ever in 18 years..

I say to her, I'm a bloke and don't see or remember things. Please just say to me, 'make the bed' 'take the bins out' anything like that and I'll do it! She does it all herself and says its fair because I work full time and she just two days a week!

Then thank your lucky stars, you've snagged one that isn't in the majority.

Never understood the silent treatment. Do they really think it bothers us? Not speaking is bliss.

Ooohh she's still mental in other ways!!

OCD cleaning (although the house is sparkling clean every day)
Obsessed with cats and Guinea pigs
Weirdest eating habits..

lol

Do you mean literal silent treatment, as in she actually hasn't said a word to you in two days?

Not a word lol

No idea how someone can square that, cats don't stink like guinea pigs do but they still shed hair and foul up the crap tray. So far as eating goes, be glad she does, some survive on coffee and cigs - and so when hungry you bet your ass you're on for a coating, especially if there's 'nothing in'.

Not a word lol

Wow. If a dude treated a woman like that they'd be calling it abuse.

How absolutely childish.

I reckon we can get a whip round on here and get her taken out.

 

[Rita_Poon]

dinner and dancing?

Not a word lol

I had 2 straight days of it about 5 years ago, but I have to admit that I deserved it. Not knowing what you've done is the worst. I sometimes can't figure my missus out, she can be so relaxed and flippant when I have made a massive balls-up, but utterly psychotic about something that barely even qualifies as trivial.

Currently on day 2 of the silent treatment, for some imaginary domestic crime, committed against womanhood.

Which coincidentally has coincided with a delay in her HRT treatment.

I’m a master at riding this out and just carry on as normal.

I’m waiting for the inevitable explosion, which follows when she comes to the realisation, that it‘s not working.

What’s the longest you’ve ever had to endure the dog house for ?

I expect @john jako and his dart board to feature heavily in any discussion.

You do a jobbie in the wardrobe again?

There`s that many pairs of shoes and handbags, there would`nt be any space.
