Silent treatment - day 4

How do you normally deal with it?

Like I said it's day 4 now. Had a few words here n there.

I'm trying to not lose myself in the midst of it and understand instead.. relationship isn't great. Anxiety and depression on my part plus loss of sex drive doesn't help.

Iv been falling asleep on the sofa a lot and I know that's what's triggered this last one.
Iv been carrying on like normal rather than having a go. Am I making it worse

Thanks in advance

So if it's your issue... exactly how does punishing you with silent treatment go in a constructive direction?

How is that working out for him so far?

Get out of there. You'll feel so much better. How many years have you been on the sofa now?

Totally agree with Dowser having been treated like this by my dad also from a young age. In my experience it is far from being about control and power, it's as a result of never Having been shown the important skill of communication in an open adult manner! In fact all I wanted when I went into myself like this was someone to ask me what was wrong and to encourage me to talk openly whilst being listened too. Never ever about control and power.
