[quote=Anonymous]Has this happened to anyone else? DH started giving me silent treatment on and off after we got married; it used to cause me great distress and I would try extra hard to get him starting talking again; he would threaten to leave me and I would cry and beg him not too; I think he enjoyed the attention; now it’s been more than four years of marriage and DH still will do silent treatment and when I ask him if anything is wrong he will say “nothing” and just avoid eye contact; he is super nice and eye contact with kids and others but not with me; it used to make me angry seeing him on his phone first thing in the morning and not saying a word to me, going to work and saying goodbye to everyone but me; (I will still say “do I get a goodbye” joining and he will mumble one); over time it seems like he blocks out what I say to him (eg I will say I took the dog on a walk, and an hour later he will ask “did anyone take the dog on a walk” and I will get annoyed that I just told him an hour ago); it is like the silent treatment PLUS blocking me out.

At a dinner party last week another couple said they loved me and my energy; he didn’t say anything; when we got home he just said “wow they love you, you certainly have them fooled!”

I have gone above and beyond being a nice wife - making dinners, planning date nights, hosting family and friends, and he rarely says anything nice to me about what I am doing.

I have found my own happiness by lowering my expectations —- but this silent treatment now - instead of previously causing me to beg “what’s wrong why aren’t you talking to me I love you” etc is making me lose interest in my husband. I find it a real turn off - especially since I ask him what is wrong and he just says nothing.

Has anyone been in this situation with any advice?[/quote]
