Silence is NOT Golden! I AM NOT as intuitive as I (OR you'd) like to think!!! If we just need to silence ourselves because we're being Aholes, that's one thing.

If we do because we're LAZY......Unacceptable!

Tips on using the silent treatment:

1. If you are going to use the silent treatment in a marriage a good thing to do before you stop talking is to say: "You're absolutely right dear!"

2. Remember ladies, if you use the silent treatment on your guy you might be doing him a favor. Most men would love it.

I think we all have had the 'silent treatment' at one time or another..and maybe have even given it ourselves to someone. During my divorce my ex would not talk at all or explain why he was doing the things he was. It made a nervous wreck of me trying to figure it out. My doctor said this when I was talking to her one day. "He who holds the silence........holds the power".

Think about it...it's true.

So its a controlling issue?

Not always. When you are angry, you never know what you might say. You can't take it back. Its better to be silent and go somewhere to think about it. So where emotions are concerned silence is sometimes golden.

Naaaah...Haven't read back (sorry Emily)....but the silent treatment offends me............ I'm a "dumb guy". Give me some information to work with please!


Sorry, I missed this post before. This is how I feel as well. Tell me what's going on. If you're not ready to talk, at least say that you're angry/upset/sad/whatever and you need a little time to cool off before talking. Don't just flat out ignore, though.
