If you're in a relationship, you damn well know the difference between the silent treatment and backing off as a preventative measure...The silent treatment is a game of control, a test of wills...It just makes a bad situation worse...It's immature and beyond stoopid...Backing off to avoid saying something or doing something that can permanently damage the relationship is a sign of self control and genuine caring for the other person...

I agree 100%, when you live with someone who wants complete control and doesn't care what they say to hurt others. It is easier to walk away than to cause pain. :smile:

Silence is golden too much is trash! Time to take The Trash Out!! This means Man or Woman!!! Good morning ladies!! love those (((Smiles)):angel:

Agree 100%. Time for cool down may vary but people have the silence gene? I tend to wade through the pain. Not always tempered in the delivery, always seeking though.

It seems like some people are recanting! While others are 'modifying' their ealier assertions Perhaps because they have been 'corrected' by mature and sinsible responses or just to save 'face' lol

In a relationship the silent treatment isn't healthy at all...infact it can be immature depending on the situation...

However in a scenario where an ex is trying to communicate with you but all its doing is causing you pain then its best to tell them about it and and go silent with no communication at all...it all depends on the situation

I'd rather have a staring eye contest. At least issues can be solved quickly with a blink of an eye. ;)

if the silent treatment comes a lot ... then the parties are just trying to escape from one another and some gets that wall up & up ... or gets numb to the arguing ... and you are in for serious relationship issues ... but again better to cool of and not have it go on for very long ...

if we don't speak to spare another pain, than this be one thing.

if we don't speak, to keep control and make another bow to us, this be another thing.

sum know they sea.

"Silence Is Never Golden" in an intimate, honest, & loving relationship.


Keep Talking Pink Floyd Lyrics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ithViBMF1k

"There's a silence surroundiing me
I can't seem to think straight
I'll sit in the corner
Where no one can bother me
I think I should speak now (why won't you talk to me)
But I can't seem to speak now (you never talk to me)
My words won't come out right (what are you thinking)
I feel like I'm drowning (What are you feeling)
I'm feeling weak now (why won't you talk to me)
But I can't show my weakness (you never talk to me
I sometimes wonder (what are you thinking)
Where do we go from here (what are you feeling)

It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking

Why won't you talk to me (I feel like I'm drowning)
You never talk to me (you know I can't breathe now)
What are you thinking (we're going nowhere)
What are you feeling (we're going nowhere)
Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
Where do we go from here"

Silent treatment comes only on a limited space and time after arguing to your partner. Meaning, if both parties are on top of that issues and doesn't each of you put down their ego and pride. Both should calm down after talked and patch up the issue, well, thats the sign of maturity. If silent treatment are prolong thats the sign of immature and don't love each other anymore. Most of the time silence help just to break and calm down the situation you are in but nevertheless don't let the situation get worst. :blush: make everyday happy.
