[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm dealing with what may be the silent treatment with a man I'm in a serious relationship with.  We've been together a year and we're in our 40s.

It happened after an misunderstanding that got a bit heated at the end.  It was nothing horrible, just a few frustrated sentences said in somewhat raised voices to each other, then we stopped.  I understand that there could be a legitimate cool down period.  I needed a bit of time myself.  We may in fact have different lengths for what that period is.  However, as it goes on, I suspect a silent treatment and/or power struggle where he is either punishing me, or wants me to contact him first, or both.  I'm beginning to think he is the type to do that kind of thing.

How do you DCUMers handle such a thing?  Any advice/insight appreciated.  TIA.[/quote]

I was dating a guy who did this exactly one time. Had disagreement about something and then he called himself giving me the silent treatment. Every time I got home and he wasn't talking to me I left and went out. He wanted to ask where I was going or what I had been doing when I got back but he couldn't cause he was punishing me with the silent treatment. After a couple of days he got so frustrated he just screamed "WHERE ARE YOU GOING". My response was "FU, remember your not talking to me so you don't get to know where I am or been or headed to" and I walked out. When I got home guess who was just a chatty cathy and apologized for being an ass. Never did it again. I dumped is ass not to long after that.[/quote]
