No Communication For A Week

Last night I made a declaration of" No communication" for a week or more at my own discretion, starting today. I'm not sure if what I am doing is right, but that's the thing came in my mind as best solution to give each other a time to think deeply about our intense argument last night. What do you do after you had arguments with your partner?

Men don't like the "silent treatment" so I employ that tactic and usually it's my husband who will give in.

In every fight, we have with the boyfriend he is the one will say sorry at the end of the day. And if it's my fault, I will be the one to say sorry and everything goes well.

Yes bhem. Eversince he's the one who used to say sorry first. Well I must admit that I'm kinda have a high ego sometimes, but maybe girls really like that. Anyway, silence is sometimes helping to calm down and re evaluate.

@cttolledo Before, when we used to live with each other. Whenever we have a fight, we cannot let the fight end the night. Usually, he is the one who will offer peace offering by taking me to Jollibee.

Hello @cttolledo oh, that got me curious as to why you want silence with your husband? I hope that you two would reconcile.

Silent is still better than fight. It gives partners time to rethink things

But for how long is the ideal period to be silent?

I just keep quiet and let the emotion cool down for a bit then if you're ready to talk that's the time you can tackle your problems.

Yeah exactly. Must have a clear mind and calm feeling in settling any issues and in decision making.

@cttolledo It can avoid a heated argument because you might say a word that could truly hurt and you won't be able to take it back.

I remain silent and stay away. But he is nice he always comes and ask for forgiveness even thou it wasn't his fault. Seeing the love he has for me melts my heart and we patch up. I suggest you appologize even if you are right. Do not waste a week not talking to each other when you can spend it having fun together. Life short my friend every moment counts. I think it's betyer to lose arguement than losing the one we love. Good luck dear. I hope things get better between you two.

Yes it is best to keep silent and wait for the bad moods to pass and then everything will perfect.

Yes. This is my first time to do it. A week is too long for us not to talk already . But anyway this is something that I have to go through to have a secured relationship.

That's true. Maybe there's a risk also because that's a chance also to think if everything between you are still worth it.

Whatever it takes. My husband and I had only one Real Disagreement (unresolvable while it lasted: two different relatives in different places would've been better off if both of us had been with them). It non-resolved in his favor, sort of--we stayed with his relative--and we *limited* communication and he did lots of things to (try to) make up for it. Apart from that, we were adults, dual income no kids, so it was easy to form a habit of thinking "Do I want what I want, right now, or do I want to stay with him/her and what s/he wants?" Mostly we wanted to stay together. If not, it wasn't a real problem; we could work, travel, or shop separately. Having to stay together and try to minimize the emotions for children...could be more problematic.
