the silent treatment is a piece of crap coward work of art. ;Like my boyfriend has been giving me the silent treatment since yesterday and today no response yet, Im thinking about flipping out or calling it quits. Because I blew his phone up all yesterday and begged for a response but now I am completely hurt. What should I do, wait another day, or just let him go????

@ashbotts1 I'm with someone who gives me the silent treatment, but he always just says he is "busy". Passive-aggression is for the birds. I'd rather deal with someone aggressive, truthfully. At least they talk to you even though it is yelling.

what if the guy gives you the silent treatment ?

@JBthree24 I try to communicate with my husband and it ends in a shouting match. The silent treatment is much more peaceful. Why try to talk to someone who is going to yell and then not listen to you. Fuck Them!!!

[WAPTek2]

dear "lady's"  refusing to communicate to a person you say you care about

is hurting someone out of cowardice , & a need not to be inconvenienced!

no NO you are not right or OK . IT IS ABUSIVE, that's it ,, so do

ANY THING ELSE!

This was my ex-wife's game. It ruined the marriage with the children suffering the most. It is abuse, just as demeaning if not more so than out right fighting. Any lady that I date that plays this game one time is instantly dumped and told clearly why she is being dumped. It is a way of avoiding real resolutions with the silly hope the problem will go away all by itself. The children also pick up this form of abuse and are set up for future relationship failures.

I gave the Silent Treatment to Bill the other day, and it seemed to work.

He has not called, or talked to me, and well, too bad......but I already have a boyfirend, whom I have known and love for a while now, and I will be DAMNED if Bill will break up up!!!

Let's see how long this will last, and if Bill will say hi again.........if he does, I give him the Silent Treatment again.

It is working - the Silent Treatment, and fuck Bill.

Very simple - Women want to speak to other women - so they think men speak to them in the same way a women does -

1 - Eye contact.

2 - Never raises her voice in defense.

3 - Smile periodically.

It is so funny - women think men are stupid -- hahaha - Just follow the 3 rules and no matter what the conversation- she will never give you the silent treatment. SILLY LITTLE GIRLS>>>>>> Just watch this video..... notice the little things....
