Topic: The Silent Treatment | |
---|---|
If you are talking about your spouse or someone you have to live with or do live with, the silent treatment is not going to solve anything. BUT When you are done with a relationship, you are DONE and no words need to be spoken. When its over, its over. I don't know if you call that "the silent treatment" or not. I think what you are talking about is a game being played by pouting. I don't do that. I just quit. It's over, nothing more to talk about. I don't consider ending a relationship as being silent treatment. You both know it's over... if you don't talk anymore, that's your choice. Now, ending a relationship by ignoring someone and hoping they get the hint, I think that's wrong. |

well...my suggestion is not to give the same treatment back...just remember they wouldn't do this if they did not feel hurt or afraid...Be kind in your mind towards the silent person...if you are a brilliant,good person then you can ....

So, when someone is acting childish and ignoring someone, what do you expect the other person to do? And why should they be kind to the person who is ignoring them? |

I think she means be willing to talk at any opening, me and my brother are like that. |

You said don't give them the same treatment back and be kind to them. However, if you're being ignored, there's not much to do. And I don't have patience for childishness, so I may not be waiting there with open arms when they get over whatever it was that made them ignore me to begin with. |

As I have said before, I am not a mind reader. Someone telling me that they're angry/mad/upset/hurt and that they need a little time before talking is fine. Completely ignoring me and expecting me to get the hint, or to figure out why is not the way to go if they expect me to be waiting around when they're done.
By the way, lilblackmagic, earlier you did say that silent treatment does mean they're childish. So, you are contradicting yourself. |
