[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure how you all arrive at the conclusion that expressing criticism is legitimate but being quiet in response is not. Either one of them, taken to an extreme, can be very harmful. Either one of them, when not taken to an extreme, can be a reasonable way to deal with your emotional state. This thread seems like a Rorschach test of personal communication preferences. [/quote] Curious as to why you are saying he is "being quiet." I'm on my iPad nearby while DH is puttering in the kitchen. That is being quiet. Being pissed and refusing to acknowledge the other person for hours is not being quiet. As others have said it is manipulative and passive aggressive. Nothing wrong with needing a while to cool off if you are upset or angry. But that is different than this silent treatment BS. [/quote]
