I have been married for less than a year and have ecperienxed being given the silent treatment by my husband since we began dating over 5 years ago. Whenever HE has done something wrong or hurtful or deceiving to me and I find out about and confront him, he gets extremely angry and then stops speaking to me. I have to beg, grovel, and plead with him in order for him to even acknowledge my presence again. Presently I am on day 4 of being given the silent treatment. He found out about something which honestly and objectively is not a huge deal but he has blown it out of proportion and first started saying horrible, mean things to me, and has now resorted to giving me the silent treatment. I am completely heartbroken. We live with his parents, so he spends the weekends taking them out, and talking to them in the days/evenings during workdays when he is home yet he completely ignores me. It is so painful. Aside from being my husband he is my best friend, I have no one else within this household and now feel so completely ignored and isolted. Today I did not even eat dinner, but does he care? No. I love him so very much, but what he is doing is complete torture. Every night when we go to bed I think that he will extend an arm, or show some sort of affection towards me, but it has not been happening up until now and it is more and more devastating as each day passes. I don’t know what to do. I cry myself to sleep at night, I don’t know if he is sound asleep or just choosees to ignore me, but he has not acknowledged that either. I am at a loss. I keep trying to ignore it, and to make plans to do other things to keep myself busy like going out shopping but I just don’t have the heart to. I prefer to sit in my bedroom being ignored and feeling numb. I feel like this is going to drive me to depression or some kind of serious health issues. What I hate the most is that within a few days he will start acting completely normal as if nothing has happened. He does no realize the destructive effects that his behaviour is having on not only myself, but our relationship. I have been reading through each and every comment in this blog and some of them have bought tears to my eyes as I can completely understand what many of the commenters are going through. I can at least seek some comfort, and hope other readers do too, in knowing that we have the company of each other through cyberspace.
