Getting the silent treatment

[Tead]

My wife gives me the silent treatment whenever I upset her.
It will last anything from a few days to a few weeks. I am ashamed to say that i would sometimes plead with her to talk to me but she’d give me a blank stare.
it’s been going on since we were married and sometimes it for the most minor things, like not telling what dress or make up she should buy because it’s a sign I don’t care.
She won’t speak to my parents either after my mother criticised her for speaking rudely to our daughter. If she bumps into my parents whilst shopping she won’t say anything.
she is now giving me the silent treatment because I moaned about running a bath for our son. I was in the shed working and she called me to ask me to run a bath for him. I said she could do it as she was upstairs already and was just watching TV. I did run the bath but afterwards got the silent treatment.

I don’t know what to do now. I am angry at her for ignoring me but also angry at myself for having a moan about filling up a bucket and washing him. 5 minute job. Normally I would run the bath but she had the day of so I thought she could do it rather than ask me.

Sorry I don't have better advice but what she's doing to you is emotional abuse. Its not okay to ignore someone for weeks (or even days). I hope you're okay.

Yes I agree, this is emotional abuse and unhealthy.

You need to tell her to stop this shit straight away. It's just not on at all.

Silent treatment is toxic and abusive. She has to stop, get therapy or I would recommend you leave.

Unfortunately they don't change - you could try an ultimatum but would have to follow through with it and leave.

My Ex-girlfriend used to do this to me, for up to a week at a time.
Hence the ex.

Buy the book "Why Women Deserve Less" or watch the podcast bu MYRON GAINES. That should give you an idea of how to respond to your wife.

Its awful. My mother was like this. Not nice. A mood or silence if not getting her way. She didnt change.

My late husband used to do this.

My solicitor told me it could be classed as “unreasonable behaviour” and I could divorce him for it.
In the end I did.
I suggest you do to.

Your wife is controlling & unkind.

My husband did this to me. It's soul destroying, I'm sorry you are dealing with it. My husband is soon to be my ex-husband, partly for this and partly for a huge betrayal.
