going silent wouldn't work either. In essence a healthy strong detached response is best.
But going silent is a DB strategy. What makes you classify it here with the other three things? Or are you just saying you don't think it will help me in my situation? My wife is almost completely silent with me. She won't hardly respond to anything I say.
I wont presume to speak for V, but I think what she means is that if you are in a discussion with your W and instead of continuing through a disagreement, you 'turn off' and 'shut down'. Its behavior similar to children's and is indicative of sulking.
I dont think she was talking about going dark and not pursuing.
