[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] Are you 12? An adult would handle this with a simple statement first, that tells him that you can't talk like now because you are very angry. He is apparently fine with you not talking to him, so he'd doubtless accept that. But launching right into the silent treatment first, without any explanation, is immature and yes, abusive. I understand that you don't like to hear this, but that doesn't make it any less true. [/quote]
