[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - so I asked DH about why he was upset and giving me the silent treatment and he said he “can’t remember” - he acts like nothing happened, that being around his family triggered him, doesn’t remember why he was mad at me. I’m really upset still because we’d had a nice Thanksgiving weekend and then the silent treatment. Nothing resolved and just waiting for this to happen again. I feel very unsettled.[/quote]

I would be asking more questions, what triggered him, what about his family triggered him, is it his family that triggers him or something about his family and you that triggers him.  Did you have a rough relationship with his family at some point, is your DH still angry about something that happened in the past.  Is he mad at his family and taking it out on you or actually mad at you.  Does he think it's normal to give you the silent treatment until such a time he doesn't even remember why he was mad.  I would be demanding some answers.

I wouldn't wait, I would sit down while there is calm and have a serious talk about it.  Don't let him sweep it under the rug.  He needs to talk, you need to tell him how the silent treatment makes you feel.  You need to start explaining to him that you need marriage counselling and if this continues then separation may be on the cards.

Feeling unsettled and unsure of when the next silent treatment is coming is a classic sign of an abusive relationship.  Either your DH starts making serious attempts or get out of this marriage, it's really not healthy for your self esteem.[/quote]
