it’s emotional abuse if someone’s using it as punishment or for control. If you need space and aren’t ready to communicate be a healthy adult and voice it

People use the silent treatment in many types of relationship, including romantic relationships. It can sometimes be a form of emotional abuse. This is the case when one person uses it to control and manipulate the other.

I didn't believe it was a form of abuse and snap at a girl on gag for claiming it was but I done some research and found it is a form of abuse

Because those people that say it don't have the sack to end the relationship. Silent treatments are passive aggressive childishness. And there's only one way to treat a child.

Because it is usually done as a form of punishment, a way to control the other person. The correct response to the silent treatment is "goodbye."

I don't think it's abusive, I just think it's wildly childish and immature.

People say it's abusive because it's often used to punish/manipulate someone.

[Anonymous]

It's emotional manipulation, and is a sign of extreme immaturity.

My Mom silent treated me AS a child

[Opinion Owner]

That's terrible.

[Asker]

Wow really i thought its normal

[Opinion Owner]

No, not normal. Using silent treatment against an adult is bad enough, but doing it against a child is aweful.

mature adults talk out their problems, they don't avoid eachother

[sheikalana]

Because it's passive aggressive.

[Yannae]

No but it would be bad for the relationship.

[jahaims]

It can be used as psychological manipulation
