In marriage, we really can't get away with some conflicts. I, when faced with conflicts with the husband only tries to retire and keep in silence. I notice, I end up more hurt...

I am being silent these days when my husband do things that disappoint me. I dont want to talk anymore cause I have said the same things over and over and I am sick and tired of saying the same things over and over.

I think that your husband is just trying to keep silent so as to think about the conflict at hand, and not upset you further by saying something out of anger he doesn't mean and will regret later. Just take a few minutes for yourself to collect your emotions, and then go back and talk to him about the conflict, and try to figure out what it was that caused it in the first place. It's normal to feel hurt when he falls silent, my husband does this too, and it upsets me, if not aggravates me a little as well.
