[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP have you posted before about this issue?  There is usually a silent treatment post every couple of months. This sounds like a big problem. I would consult an attorney and let your husband know he needs to start therapy. [/quote]

No, I have not posted on this forum prior. Apparently this is a normal issue among relationships if it is a reoccurring topic. How have those other women handled the situation is my question. Seems divorce is the only solution if DH is unwilling to seek help. [/quote]

How often does he pull this?  Do you have kids?[/quote]

One child, the frequency is every few months since Covid started. Any tips on how to get my DH to communicate? or stop this behavior? [/quote]

I grew up with a mother who gave the silent treatment and then had a very good friend go through this as an adult with her spouse.  You know what works - stop caring.  The person is trying to control you.  If you don't allow them to control you and you, from a genuine place, do not give a shit about what they are doing, they have lost all control.  Go about your life and disconnect from the person.

The dangerous part about this is...you stop caring about the other person.  So your spouse will need to figure it out I guess and you see where it goes.  In the case of my mother, I have a poor relationship with her as an adult and I just don't give her a lot of thought and she carries very little emotional weight for me.  My friend and her spouse, he clued in that what he was doing was not working anymore and stopped doing it.  [/quote]
