Another silent treatment post

I am receiving silent treatment for 24 hours now from my husband. I know it is not normal as per the articles and comments are saying here , I guess I just want some kind of reassurance. I hate this feeling the silent treatment creates inside me, I feel kind of guilty I don’t even know what for. This is not the first time tbh. I think my husband is a narcissist and I am worried about my future.

Well silent treatment as you know, is emotionally abusive. I doubt that that's his only abusive trait but am obviously not sure. The best way to find out is to be open and speak to him about it. Tell him how it makes you feel and how you want things to be. If he carries on giving you the silent treatment then you have your answer. He doesn't respect you, doesn't care that he's hurting you and refuses to change.

From then you need to think about what you want. Abusive behaviour tends to get worse. For some silent treatment can go on for weeks or even months. You need to have a think about what you're prepared to put up with.

You've posted in mental health, are you seeing a therapist? Counselling may be the way forward, to help you navigate your way forward.
