If you don't abuse it, it can be very useful in handling some situations. I don't give the full silent treatment sha, will respond to necessary questions concerning other important issues with the barest minimum of words in reply. With regards to the issue that brought on the silent treatment I won't give an opinion anymore, usually say stuff like "I don't know" or "do whatever you think is right"

If am the one receiving the treatment I usually apologise for whatever and if you continue then you are on your own, will give you space and wait you out.

It could be good or bad but I think it's necessary.

@Kachisbarbie......Silent treatment givers are emotional blackmailers.

[b]One common thing that I have noticed about silent treatment givers is their inability to receive just 1 minute of silent treatment from their partners.
They will do everything humanly possible to make you talk,they will poke you,they will do all manner of things even irritating things to make you talk and the more they do this the more offensive they become.They would rather cover all their misdeeds with playful banters instead of sitting down and talk about the issue at hand.But as soon as it becomes them at the other end, they will stone up and become as cold as anything and expect you to beg until their ego is well massaged and they will turn around and behave as if they've done one great favor for you......All na wayo.

They are indirectly manipulating you - Because immediately after then whatever they do that doesn't go down well with you would get a natural waiver because no man in his right senses would want to stir up the hornet's nest after all that silent treatment and the begging for peace that followed.

I repeat silent treatment is immature and childish and they can be manipulative - And if you try it with me ,I'll personally treat you like you never existed until you come back to your senses and act like human. [/b]

Wow! Please tell me you are a psychologist!

I'm trying hard to be nice but "I HATE THESE KIND OF PEOPLE" there,I just said it#reliefed! Silent treatment in this age and era? Way too childish!

But like you rightly said,ignore button does the magic

Kachisbarbie:



hehehe...not like I rant (shout) __ nahhh.

I just pour out my mind as soon as possible.

ivyy:



Loool haba its not

iebanehita:


You aware men desperately hates women that rants....

So, once men give them 'a word' to keep quiet, they feel insulted and decide to go all silent until he 'apologise'...

Silent treatment is good for the ranting type of women, for women that are specialist in deviating from the issue of discourse just to avoid the blame at all cost.

sure I am aware...hehe

Happy birthday to you, keep Living

Silent treatment is bad in every way... I have a male friend that does that a lot...and it really pisses me off..he won't reply my massages on viber or what's app or anywhere and won't pick my call, and if he manages to reply it would just be a text that said " I'm busy".
Once I did it to him over an issue we had, and he got so furious and sent a message , where he had rambled on over 11 pages of total bvllshit explaining why It should be only him that has the right to do such.
.. Meanwhile Currently, he is giving me another silent treatment since 4days now over something I'm yet to find out about.. U can imagine that sort of thing.. he doesn't know how fed up I am with the relationship and I will seriously be cutting away from him soon.

Most folks that prefers the silent treatment are emotional blackmailers and I for once do not hesitate to walk away from such drama

I agree. I do this, and it works. It's not like I plan it out, but I prefer retreating to arguing, and I need my space.

The longest SL treatment (full) I've been in lasted almost a year, and it was with one of my siblings. But I can only tolerate that one in small doses anyway...

Kachisbarbie:
Silent treatment:.
It is a form of sanction that involves ignoring a particular individual, neither speaking to that person nor responding to his or her words.

__ We all have someone around us( a partner, spouse, family member) who is fond of doing this or possibly we are the one that gives people the 'treatment'.

Personally, I don't think it's right, I feel issues should be resolved ASAP, even if anyone should give the silent treatment...maximum of 5minutes to cool off and get your speech together...lol.

What do you think?
Does it help/affect a family/relationship/marriage?.

bukatyne:


Nothing annoys me more than using playful banter to cover up misdeeds...

Just say sorry even if you want to use 'banter' to cover it up.

To me, it's pride

Truckpusher:
They think only about themselves and no one else - Yes ,pride is a major fault they also share in common.

Once you learn how to be resolute and ignore them completely without any show of remorse they'll always come back to their senses.

They are nothing but manipulative cry babies.

EnlightenedSoul:


False.
Silence is drama-free. Silence is beautiful!
