[quote=Anonymous]For goodness sake. A spouse can't say, "I wish you wouldn't do X" without someone saying THAT is abusive? In marriages as in the rest of life, people need to be able to express and listen to criticism. They can decide the criticism is fair or not, but how can any marriage - or friendship, or work relationship - possibly succeed if neither person is allowed to express any emotion other than "oh honey you're so amazing"? P Hopefully it is polite and respectful criticism, but even if it's irritable and unfair criticism, silent withdrawal is an immature way to handle it. He needs to man up and either say what's bothering him or decide it's not worth squabbling about and get past it. Either way, freezing her out is juvenile and manipulative. [/quote]
