I know how you feel. My husband used to give me the silent treatment. And it was easy for him, he is kind of a hermit and doesn't like talking to people anyway. So then I would clam up in response. Except, I love to talk. So I was only hurting myself, and making the marriage worse. It didn't get better until we learned to call a truce and accept that we really do need to treat each other at least as well as we would treat a stranger. And you talk nicely to strangers. So we had to drop the attitude and talk nicely to each other. And it made a difference. Of course, it took a neutral party telling us this for us to believe it.
