I have done that to my husband twice in our marriage. But it only lasted a day or so before we made up.

I find the silent treatment a lot more infuriating.I prefer an argument as that is the quickest way to get over the issue and get back to normal.

@amadeo I find keeping your feelings bottled up is worse for my blood pressure than an argument.

The silent Tteatment, although sometimes effective..is actually a form of emotional abuse. It is much better to talk things out. My ex mother in law told me that one time her husband had not spoken to her for 3 weeks, because she cut some sort of flowers or grapevines or something he was growing! Now that is excessive!

Yes, I have done this and it does help if you're angry and don't want to talk. But often I will argue first-hahaha! The best of both worlds.

If I were to give my partner the silent treatment I would do it where he couldn't see me. Like on a very long walk or at a friends house. Give him some space and take some space for me also.

Silent treatment isn't good, it's better to talk to each other and solve the problem between couples

That's not something we've ever done. IF we have a disagreement, we talk it out. I can't think of when the last problem was. lol Happy Flag Day! Our flag makes me so proud to be an American.

Silent treatment is needed sometimes, but its not healthy if it is done regularly or for too long, I think more than 24 hours silent treatment is too long.

@Ants79 yes your right there.24 hours a tad too long

No matter how angry you are , don't give the other person the silent treatment. You chose him/her for a reason and he/she deserves to know what's troubling you. Plus, your problems will be resolved faster if you talk about it.
