Thank you for sharing your inhtgsis to the silent treatment. I have been married for over 17 years and we have 3 children:17, 12, and 8. My husband gets upset so easily over the smallest things because he turns them into bigger issues that they are. He always looks for problems in every situation and is eager to create fear and anxiety about day to day tasks. When I disagree with him or blow him off he gives me the silent treatment for days. He also show very limited affection toward me. He hasn’t kissed me on the mouth in over 5 years. He doesnt hold my hand, or say encouraging words .I cry myself to sleep and he sleeps soundly. I feel so isolated and alone. We moved away from my family over 12 years ago. He has only agreed to me flying home twice my father and my sister passed away. He did not come home with me either time he had to work. I feel like he doesnt nor has he ever loved me. I stay because we have 3 children. Should I leave? I am feeling numb my life is disappearing year by year. I do not want to hurt my children.
