My husband keeps telling me that second marriages are the best marriages. Trouble is we're both still on our first! Neither of us seem keen on leaving though so I guess we're stuck with each other.
I've no experience of the silent treatment myself, we rarely argue but if we do, we make sure never to go to bed angry or upset with each other. Same goes for our children.
I find the whole silent treatment thing really immature. It would have to be a big 'crime' to warrant this happening in our house for any length of time.
If this behaviour is a regular thing then I would be looking to move on permanently.0 -

Had this for sometime and whilst I can read all about it being for obssessive or narcissistic people actually DEALING with it is hard. Any useful suggestions please.

I think sometimes a CONTROLLED silence is better than sniping or being sarcastic and the argument going on and on... HOWEVER, long periods of being ignored is just cruel and I would hate it.0

Try that day to learn how to play the cymbols, trumpet or big bass drum.

I think some people on here have never lived with a proper sulker.
The more times and ways you try and get them to talk the more they see it as some sort of 'reward' for their behaviour.
Although my earlier post was somewhat toungue in cheek it does contain an element of truth.
To the OP, sit them down and suggest they get some professional help, if they refuse then, to be frank, your options are limited, either put up with it and develop your own coping strategies or move on.0 -

I have however found that the sulks get shorter with time, longest he sustains now is about 20 minutes
A twenty minute sulk fair enough, keeping it going even overnight let alone a couple of days and I'd be packing their bags for them.I Would Rather Climb A Mountain Than Crawl Into A Hole
