I don't, because I don't tolerate that bullshit manipulation.
Its passive aggressive manipulation. A good reason to terminate a relationship.
I think if it happens once it's not valid, people deserve more chances also because this is not TRAGIC like cheating and violence and so on. So if a partner repeats this tactic without a reason, then yes, i'd also call it quits, but if it happens once, i'd rather talk it out, reflect, and resolve and try to tell the partner that this is not the right tactic to resolve an issue. So maybe it never happens again, BUT IF IT DOES, i'd be out that door snap snap
It is psychological warfare. I used to just give it right back and it could go on for weeks. Now I try to resolve it sooner rather than later. Life is too short for these games.
I would not stay in a relationship where the silent treatment was allowed. It is inherently toxic and disrespectful.
I find it to be frustration and annoying. Why not just the guy why your avoiding him? We're not mind mind reader's. We can't figure out what we did wrong unless you say something.
It's dangerous and sometimes it kills me... I don't this this therapy should be used by girls or any guys... whatever the problem is it should be discussed and finish it before it gets messy.
If my girlfriend ever did that, I'd dump her, it's childish and stupid.
I don't think I've ever had the "silent treatment" or if I did I simply didn't notice. Im very comfortable with quiet I honestly don't think it would effect me much.
Communication is 🔑 to any relationship. A silent treatment will make me stray away especially if its for weeks. I could stand a few hours to a day and then when you're ready to speak you really have to tell me what made act like a 4year old.
98% of the time guys don't notice, or enjoy the silence.
I am not a coward. Lol i would not shut up till we solved the problem even we may get headaches. This happens a lot with my sisters. Haha
I know it hurt other people and i use it many time when i'm agry but it doesn't afect me because i can be very annoying when somebody try that one me.
I dont pit up with it. Silent treatment=I dump their ass, and I will go out to the local bar have a few beers, play pool, and enjoy being single
The silent treatment seems very juvenile to me. Adults talk through their issues and resolve them.
I wouldn't care, were all jus a bunch of ants spinning around on a huge rock in space... We all gonna die. Nothing matters to me
And nothing you do in your life will matter in the end
The 1 disliked is either mad because they don't like the truth that nothing matters... Or mad that she can't upset men by giving silent treatment
Most men would be thrilled if a women could be silent for a few days.
If I was blatantly ignored I'd just go find another woman. I *KNOW* I can do better & deserve better than a manipulative harpy.
Haha my girlfriend has done that a couple times but I just make her laugh and she starts talking again
This is a very cute and easy way to break the silence, I totally love it, let me know if i can use this comment for my article i love it.
My partner does the same at times and it always works, also because we can't stay mad for long lol.
Thanks again and i'm waiting for your approval.
Just like how girls actually feel about the silent treatment
it’s a win win, i get peace and quiet while she thinks she’s being tough but she’s actually just acting childish and will realize it sooner or later 🤷♂️😂
If my girlfriend ever does that I’d give her the ultimatum of either talk to me and we can discuss what’s wrong, or I’m leaving.
See i don't really agree with ultimatums, they are just as toxic as the silent treatment tactic. It's harsh and it won't even give your partner the chance to think due to the shock that one might get after hearing a sentence like " YOU EITHER TALK OR I LEAVE" it's heart breaking.
I guess I came off harsh. I meant that if she’s not actively trying to be assertive and communicate with me like an adult then I’ll tell give her the ultimatum
I’m not so sure since I’m petty myself and the silent treatment is my go to. I also like the silent treatment because it prevents further arguments.
After some time you will learn that it's toxic, you're 19 years old and it might seem like the best solution, but sooner or later you will understand that it's very toxic.
I enjoy silence a lot. And I'm thankful when it's given to me :)
Is that what they call it when they quit responding?
Depends in what context, usually silent treatment is when a partner is mad at the other and they just don't talk or are VERY hesitant to talk and show them the cold shoulder... but if someone doesn't respond on a text or chat it's called ghosting lol
Good riddance. Now my ears can finally breathe 😩🙏🏾
Amen
See, when a relationship is healthy, partners give each other spaces to actually do things that they want to do, without even causing issues, why being happy for a silent treatment and at the same time not agreeing with it, it makes you sound confusing and a little immature for my taste.
Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts though
You're welcome :)
For real though, don't ask a question if you're going to be dissappointed when not everyone gives the obvious answer in a different format.
@natured What did u even just say. U used a bunch of commas, what's that a list or what? Anyways I'm fine not being to ur taste as u sound just like one of those nagging harpy's from which there is no escape. If being mature in ur eyes is the ability to tolerate constant nagging then I'll pass😤
@pantsuhunter I swear they're from a different planet mate.
It's acually cute that you think that I nag, i just find this comment tasteless and immature. Not my fault you're not man enough to handle a "nagging" ;)
@natured ok sweetheart. I'm tasteless and immature. U win.
Now give me peace.
Thank God she finally shut up... Lol.
Okay, not really.
I don't appreciate comments like these... if your partners talking annoys you, stay alone.
It was a joke.
You have nerves... well i'd care to hear your honest opinion now so... tell us
The silent treatment only creates more resentment on both sides.
Here we go thank you, next time I will make a sarcastic question so you can joke and have fun.
Thank you I appreciate it
well for me I feel like you just got kicked in the balls then called a skullfucker by Chun from streetfighter
Generally it's a blessing for a short period of time, Got it for week & it was painful
The silent treatment is an immature way to settle a problem. Lack of communication kills any and all relationships
First time it happens I am not staying in the relationship anymore. I don't want to date a child I want to date a women that can communicate with me.
that is true, sadlt this tactic is used a lot by women and men, it's a sad fact and it ruins a lot of relationships. do you mind if I use your comment for a MyTake even though your'e Anonymous I still care to ask. Thank you
Absolutely! I have seen some of your My takes before and I am would like to see one I inspired. Can you put the link to it on this conversation when you finish it so I can see it?
I Will put the link on the question above, or you can follow me and you'll see it automatically. Thhank you so much
You did it!
Wait People get in relationships before being ignored 😲
She wanna end the relationship? Her choice. I consider it the same as being ghosted.
I think it's great. The longer it lasts, the better. It finally gets her to shut up and I can have peace and quiet to enjoy my life and look for her replacement.
You are such a sad excuse of a Man sorry, but I don't appreciate comments and people like you. It's sad that you're actually my partners age and you're so childish... it's really sad
Whats sad is that you are a grown women and feel the need to insult me when I made no comment towards you. If someone's going to give me childish behaviour like the silent treatment, then I'm at least going to derive some benefit from it.
I hate it. It solves nothing. Just talk it out.
We enjoy the fact that you’ve finally shut the fuck up for 5 minutes so we can sit and have some time to ourselves.
Grow the fuck up.
See, I don't appreciate people like you, honestly, people like you don't even deserve a right woman on their side. "Shut the F.. up" seriously? Who do you think you are? Do you think you're perfect? Do you think you always make it right?
Sorry, but this comment is one of the ugliest from all the 100 ones i'm reading so far.
Shame on you, and I think you're the one who should do some growing up.
Peace.
Ohhh noooo a fool shamed me; whoever will I do. Probably continue living my life as a man lacking any regard for your female feeling.
it's a relationship killer
Please no! Not talking is a terrible punishment
Pissed
it's very understandable, would you allow me to use this comment for my future mytake that i'm planing to write about this issue? Even though it's just one word it's still very powerful !!! Thank you
No worries
It's dumb, childish & immature
It's a blessing in disguise
I appreciate it when she shuts the fuck up. Especisally when i want to think about things.
I don't appreciate comments like this and people like you. Who do you think you are saying such things? You think you're perfect? This mindset is even more toxic than the tactic of silent treating itself.
Shame on you
There is no need to talk about stupid shit. I dont care that so n so didn't shave her mustache this wk, or that she wore white after labor day. I want to listen and talk about relevant facts and things that relate to our relationship. Are we meeting with real estate agent, or we selling our property, are we meeting w friends for dinner. Was the stock market up, are our employees doing a great job... relevant facts.
You don't make sense, read again what you commented above, and then read what you replied to me. You need to reflect a lot Sir
... NO SHIT i need to reflect... that is why peace and quiet is so relevant
Why causing all this drama just so she can shut up so you can enjoy your peace? Then why don't you live alone? Stay alone so you are not THIS STRESSED, you are too much
I plan too, i allm getting my shit in order to walk away.
It's abusive.
Its weak sauce bs.
I love the quiet time!
QUiet time can be required in different ways, not like this... if you enjoy quiet time stay alone, but with a partner you should provide healthy comunication in order to actually have a quiet time. Giving space to each other is very very important, it works for me and my partner, we give each other spaces, it's healthy and the relationship gets stronger.
I would give you the D. Just don't talk afterwards.
You wish darling, you'd never have that honor.
Now go crawl back in your troll cave quit embarrising yourself.
Not really wishing, sugar tits. You are minimally acceptable for a pump and dump. Nothing more.
puff... finally she’s quite. 🤓
😂😂
Well if thats how it is... i can do it longer
Fine ill just play the game
I love that
I don't date anymore its a waste of time lol
Silence is golden.
