I am such a deep communicator that I can't even begin to imagine being in a relationship with a woman who could ever dream of cutting herself off from me. It's just not feasible to me.
If she ever did such a thing I'd probably make a doctor's appointment for her because something serious would be wrong. I hope she would do the same for me should the tables be turned.
I mean, I'm talking prolonged silience here. Not just the normal, I don't want to dicuss it right now. But seriously refusing to even acknowledge that there's a problem? Nah. Something's wrong.
I also think that this kind of extreme silence occurs when guys really screw up big time!
Like say the woman thinks she knows her partner really well, and they go out to dinner with another couple (maybe someone from where the man works). And during the dinner conversation he suggest swapping wives! And he's SERIOUS!
They come home and he's getting the silent treatment saying to his wife, "What? What’s wrong hun?"
Yeah right. Like he needs to ask?
I would never find myself in such a pathetic predicament. I'm just not that screwed up in the first place.
I would rather have the "I'm mad at you". I was the one who initiated the silent treatment. It was either all out screaming at each other or the silent treatment. I grew up in the screaming treatment and the silent treatment. It was either one extreme or the other. I didn't know how to communicate with her. Eventually, I just shut down and figured why bother. For some reason we just couldn't be civil with each other. I really never got to know her. I think being able to say I'm mad at you would be a great ice breaker for the silent treatment. The other could reply, "Well, why are you mad at me?" Of course, that would be logical and would make sense to me. The tension was so thick during the silent treatment that you could literally cut it with a knife. I think I became afraid of her.
