Refusing to listen, talk or respond to a partner is sometimes called “the silent treatment.” Many people cut off their partners emotionally to hurt, punish, or manipulate them. Some people even refuse to acknowledge their partners’ existence for hours, days, or weeks on end, making the partners feel as if they are somehow less than human, like a ghost:
Nina could never tell what would set off her husband, Ray, and make him refuse to speak with her. Nina first experienced Ray's silence when they were. Ray felt that Nina had looked too happy while dancing with a male friend, so he walked out of the club without saying good-bye, and refused to speak with her or even acknowledge her for weeks.
Over the years, Nina learned to cope with Ray's cruel silences, continuing to prepare his meals and wash and fold his clothes even as he ignored her for long periods. The silent treatment usually ended with Ray grabbing at Nina brusquely for at night. The next morning, he acted as if the break in their relationship had never happened and refused to discuss it., and depends on the abuser’s approval to feel worthwhile and safe. Many abuse survivors say they hated the silent treatment more than the insults or yelling. When they were shouted at, at least they knew what was on the abuser’s mind, and could better assess their own and their children’s safety.

The female author used two examples of the silent treatment. Both men doing it towards women. Interesting, I honestly didn’t know men did it too. Any studies on which sex is more likely to use this tactic?
DrHarish139 What is this filth.?
Jeg var engang til et foredrag med johannes møllehave. Han fortalte om en kvinde hvis mand ikke havde talt til hende i årvis. Hun gav ham gift i hans mad. Kun for at høre ham sige av.
Silent treatment isn't exclusive for romantic relationship. Either way it's always better to communicate rather than be silent.
This needs to also include family members and friends as well who do this as well to torture you. My family does this when we have different political views.
