A bit of guidance on this would and I'd be very greatful

So "dude" at work is talking about his relationship with his wife.

And says "I haven't talked to her in three weeks"

Me: "You do understand what that is, don't you?"

Him, with a little chuckles and a twinkle in his eye. "Yes, it drives her mad?"

Me: "That's not a healthy way to behave in a relationship"

Him: "Well you would say that"

I walked off and didn't see him for three days.

I've now noticed that he does the same in workplace emails and chats. Just doesn't respond to anything I talk about and reaaaaaalllllllllly takes his time responding to task related specific information or goes you should already know that and slieghtly worse than that, draws other team members off to participate in his tasks rather than let them complete the ones I've assigned to them.

Is this is what I think it is?

Personally, I'm more surprised at people's poor reading comprehension, than about OP's communication skills.

Oh come on it's fucking obvious.

Anyone that has been here for more than a week knows that giving someone the silent treatment is abusive.

Tbh OP's posts weren't that hard to follow until the BLM bit.

He's an arsehole, overshares, gives way too many intimate details about his wife and brags over what's generally considered abusive behaviour.

Yeh, I didn't write that one well.

The business put out a BLM statement

I said it was important and that my neighbours & friends went on a "Protect the Statues" counter demo. The dude i've been talking about said, what do you expect in the neighbourhood you live in. And followed up with a few All Lives Matter statements and that no rac-hy&hg%N-tists or wh-o9i8&-ite supre-p0k&yh^-macists* live in his area.

I then asked him if he was absolutely sure about that.

I hope that clarified that bit.

(betcha I'll be told otherwise)

Haven’t got a clue what you’re talking about.
