What is the longest time partners have gone without talking

[lightnesspixie]

Just out of interest? How long can it be kept up and who gives in first?

Well we’re not 5 so that doesn’t really happen for us, we just say how we feel, chat about it, come to some conclusions and move on. We don’t argue either, we just work on clear communication tbh...

We rarely go an hour throughout the day without talking or texting.

My dad could sulk for England, sometimes he doesn’t talk to my mum for weeks (usually over something he’s imagined)
One day, just like that, he snaps out of it & they carry on as usual.
I don’t know why she doesn’t leave him (or bury him under the patio)

My dad would stop talking to my mum for months at a time, and also take away her car keys. When he’d finished he’d talk to her again and everything was expected to be as before. They’re still married (53 years).

You know they say people marry someone just like their dad? I didn’t.

@nancy75 your dad sounds exactly like mine!

My mum sometimes ignores me and has done it for weeks. So whilst I might still be sulking about something with DH (or my children) I never actively don’t talk to them and I even sleep talk!

My ex wouldn't talk to me for days over something imagined. He once didn't talk to me for 2 days because he dreamt I'd shagged someone behind his back

My dp and I have cross words and we dont speak for maybe a few hours..more to give each other space. If one asks another a question we never ignore each other, the answers are a bit short and to the point. We then talk about it and move on

We have had a few times where we may not speak for a couple of hours but honestly it’s not something that happens here. When you hear of non communication for days, weeks or months you have to wonder what kind of person the non communicator is as it’s very abusive.

After Barney we go to sleep
Next day is back to normal
The one who is out of order does say sorry but that's it end of we go back focussed on positive things

Exh would ignore me and the dc for up to a week (so glad he’s exH).

DH and I rarely argue and if we do disagree it’s usually fine in an hour or so. Life’s too short for drama and stress.

Never really happens. If I try and sulk my DH will be all mature and talk about the situation - like a proper grown up.
