[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but it sounds like you're the one playing games -not him.  You're actually thinking about who contacts whom first?  I'm in my 40s and after fighting with my partner, and we have a "cool down period" or we don't talk for a few days or whatever, it doesn't even occur to me that I'm contacting him or he's contacting me first.  If I'm done cooling off, I'll reach out to him - even if it's something like "Hey, you want to grab dinner tonight after work?" or something like that.  If he continues to give me silence, THEN I know he's giving me the silent treatment instead of just needing time to cool down.

If you haven't even reached out to him, you have no idea if its a silent treatment or he's just cooling off.  You doing this "should I call him first or wait until he calls me first" is childish and really proves nothing.  (seriously - what does it prove if he dials your # first?  that he loves you more? that he has more flexible fingers? that he's less busy?  Not really sure what "calling first" actually shows you.)[/quote]
