[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s pretty wrong of you to sit there and laugh. I give my husband the silent treatment when I need a break. If not, I become very angry, I yell, say things I do not mean and I am very hurtful to others. So, I keep to myself and process things internally. My husband knows it is not about him and respects my space. I always go back to him and follow up with a talk about why I was silent, how I am feeling, etc. [/quote]
You are abusive to your husband. Immature too and if you don't realize that silent treatment while living in the same house is abusive, you are doing damage that will not be repaired. There is no way you don't do this with your own kids if this is your pattern of behavior. There is nothing, nothing more damaging than silent treatment to a child living in his own house. You feel like an enemy in your own house, instead of having the feeling of safety. I much rather take, and I did take, a slap or even a full on beating from mom and dad(different country, different time) than silent treatment. Yes, mom and dad both were immature jerks on occasion and did this to me. I swore to myself that I will never do this to dh or my kids, and I never did.
I have always said, we live in the same house, we can be upset, heck we can be divorcing, but we communicate and we act like effing adults.[/quote]
