[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Better than him staying and escalating and both of you saying things you’ll later regret.[/quote] That's the excuse of the silent treatment types. [b]Silent treatment is a form of abuse.[/b] The real solution is for him to be able to stay and *not* say things he will regret. To control himself. [/quote] That is NOT what the silent treatment is. He verbally communicated a desire to be alone. He was not silent about that. The silent treatment is when something happens, and the person literally stops talking and engaging. They never ask for the space to process or be alone. They just stop talking. When asked, "Hey, what's wrong?" they don't respond. They sit at a meal and say nothing. This boyfriend did none of those things. It is healthy for adults to say that they need some space. It may not be how you process information and/or emotions, but it is necessary for some. [/quote]
