@ Lax

I just re-read your comment and saw this part

Lax75:
Hey! Been doing ok. Cool, take your time.

What you did in response to the silent treatment was kinda cute. I must admit. If that was me you did it to, I would have been mad as hell, but on the inside I wouldve been kinda light-hearted and touched, but I would still keep a straight face not to let you know!

Lol
If it were you - hmmmmmm

ok

He got pretty upset with me - really, really upset - but we worked through it - I really hope I don't have to deal with the "silent treatment" from a future mate again. I tire ooo.

Do you give "silent treatment" or have you received it from another?

Sister Shy, this is funny, and quite strategic I must admit. You cornered him.
Lax - I had dealt with it for 2 years - trying to be a good wifey - but it really hurt - it hurts when someone gives silent treatment and you go over the top to please them.  It really hurts especially if you are from an environment where you talk about your thoughts, troubles and concerns.  My family - both parents were teachers and had masters and doctoral degrees and really believed in discussing and working things out.  So to find out that my husband (now deceased) was into using a "silent treatment" approach - I found out after we married that one of his few not-so-good qualities was this approach - I just knew for the sake of the marriage and resolving issues "we had to talk" - so I had to study what would or wouldn't be the most effective approach - and those were what nipped it in the bud.  I felt a bit guilty about "spending his money" though because he was a very frugal saver and I knew if I spent money - he wouldn't stay silent for long.  Also, hiding his underwear and deodorant - gave me a bit of qualms as well - but I needed him to talk to me and it was effective.  I knew that crying or screaming or theatrics would not work on him at all.

We were able to work things out by talking things through.  cheesy

So how have you been?  I will respond to your last transmittal.

my contributions to the thread are to help others who are dealing with this type of behavior - while I am contributing helpful suggestions - you are quick to call me and others "childish" and other "degrading" names - you sound like Chima under a new username - I wonder just how correct I am - if it is Chima - what I find childish is your constant bans, over and over and over again and your constant "new usernames" - you are so desperate to stay on NL you clutch at straw after straw after straw to maintain your presence - now how "childish" is that - you who are such a "grown woman" - who doesn't engage in "silent treatment" - I wonder if your husband many times gets on his knees and prays that you do "go to bed at night giving him the silent treatment" - that you say you don't do - I can bet if he had the money he would pay you to stay quiet.

silent treatment without malice and grudge keeping is far better than ranting and raving all over the place.

however, if the silence is accompanied by maliciousness, then that's witchcraft on the part of either the man or woman.


imo, its not everything that needs to be carried on one's head. Sometimes we need to learn to let things go and stop majoring in minors.[/quote]I like that - "stop majoring in minors" - I'm going to remember that - you are actually quite right.

CalienteMi:
I don't know about you but I am on topic and voiced my opinion that silent treatments are temper tantrums and those who scooped to that level are just as childish as the one doing the silent treatment.  

I know for a fact I wouldn't waste my time doing what you did above because I believe in effective communication and do not let the sun go down without at least attempting to talk about it like adults. 

Again that is my opinion.
Then you must have stumbled in the wrong thread

That is the difference between you and I - what is seen as a time waster to you - brought me many results - as I no longer had to deal with "Silent Treatment"

Many men and women use silent treatment in this manner - it is good that you "didn't let the sun go down without attempting to talk" - the problem with your response is that you are responding to a thread that is directed at those "Who are UNLIKE YOU"

@ Thread Topic

Those who have dealt with silent treatment know that to "make attempts to talk is a time waster" - for the one who directs the silent treatment and authors it - won't stand still long enough to listen to your attempts to talk nor will they give you audience in the bed, kitchen, bath or living room and if they do look at you long enough to hear anything you have to say - they generally will remain stone-faced and refuse to answer.

My response to the forum is that you can either "deal with it" or get effective in deleting it.

I was effective and my method worked on my mate and it didn't take long at all.  I was able to help him through his inability to communicate but it took me some time to figure out what would work for him and for me in our situation.

wink

Oh you learn everyday, I love this one a lot.
Infact will put it to use right away.
Revenge ke , Discipline you mean, Thanks love it grin grin grin grin
Thanks - it worked like a charm - There are times when you have to just put your foot down in "non traditional ways"

I believe in being effective and not wasting time - No yelling, no screaming - you also have to observe what is effective for "Your particular situation" - my husband was a neat and tidy individual - very, very, very clean - fastidiously so - and needed to be surrounded by order at all times.

So relocating his items - really offset him - he kept a super busy agenda and calendar and didn't have a lot of time to replace this or look for that.  Very intelligent.

He would ignore those he didn't want to be bothered with - when he turned it on me - at first I was unsure of what was going on, then once I caught on and decided to not put up with it any longer, then I just politely removed the floor from beneath him in very "untraditional manners" - later we looked back and laughed - especially when he had shaving cream on his face and couldn't find his razor and he needed to go to work but decided to not speak to me because of his "feelings of anger" over whatever I did or didn't do.

It is important to remove behaviors that will kill a relationship - remove them early in the relationship so you can thrive and bond for a lasting marriage.  

If you have dealt with the "silent treatment" for a number of years - it is still not too late to change that individual.  Observe them and find out what is an irritant to them - and remove what they value - do it quietly with little fuss - and just keep you lips sealed - don't respond to their reactions unless they are of a violent nature.

Let them know that "we need to meet and talk things over that silent treatment can backfire and will only elevate the situation to an unbearable level"

There are certain behaviors I just won't deal with and "silent treatment" is one of them.

Remember you are in the relationship/marriage with them - they didn't go into it alone.  They can't alone dictate how your interaction should be.
RomanceRe: The Silent Treatment by ShyOne(f): 1:18am On Sep 27, 2011
All husbands have irritating ways - you don't walk out of a marriage

you focus on change - IT WORKED and HE CHANGED

for the better - might I add -  grin

let me refocus and pull your attention back to the thread topic

CalienteMi:
That's your opinion and you are entitled to it.   If you couldn't put up with his childish ways, you would have left him and not scooped down to his level. 

I know for a fact a real man wouldn't follow a woman around just because she is having a temper tantrum.  If she isn't woman enough to come to the man like a grown woman and lay everything on the table then she doesn't deserve his attention nor time.  I know men for sure will attest to this. 

In my opinion, it is childish both ways.
this isn't about temper tantrums - AS NO ONE WAS HAVING A TEMPER TANTRUM

This isn't about being "woman enough or being a real man" - seems like you want to just "wing it and start a new topic by evolving my response into another topic entirely"

This is about 2 people in a relationship or a marriage where one party gives the other the "silent treatment" - silent treatment means "No Talking" - "No Listening"

"Laying it on the table doesn't occur when one party doesn't listen, doesn't talk and doesn't respond"

Anyone who has experienced "silent treatment" can attest to what I am saying.  

So your response to me - is obsolete.

Can we stay on topic?  For the sake of the poster?  Thanks
RomanceRe: The Silent Treatment by ShyOne(f): 10:17pm On Sep 26, 2011
^^^^

Revenge is a response directed "out of spite" - to pay someone back.

I don't call doing what I did - revenge - because my motive wasn't one of "spite" - I needed "results" that would eliminate my having to experience "silent treatment"

I posted my post so that anyone experiencing silent treatment could also "eliminate" it from their video by knowing that there are "options" available to them - just because someone "dishes" out something doesn't mean you have to "take it".

You can decide what you will and what you won't put up with,

From a spouse or a mate.  Many people don't consider "silent treatment" as childish, I actually consider it as "uneducated" - many people actually consider the use of silent treatment as a better option than arguing or violence - they consider "silent treatment" as quite adult compared to arguing.

I don't categorize it as either - I just refuse to accept it.  We will discuss things like adults or you will find yourself following me around "just to get me to talk to you"
RomanceRe: The Silent Treatment by ShyOne(f): 3:25pm On Sep 26, 2011
I had someone who used silent treatment as a weapon - and since I had never experienced silent treatment - it was very painful to me and hurt me deeply.

Then after a few years of dealing with this person (a mate) and I studied that individual closely to ascertain/figure him out.  It dawned on me how to remove "silent treatment" from my life. 

The first thing you have to do is to immediately go into "automatic pilot" and stop caring about him speaking or not speaking to you and START focusing on yourself.

Also introduce him to "gorilla warfare-type of attention grabbing conversation items"

1.  I started spending his money (normally I am a saver-when he stops speaking it initiates that very lavish spender that resides within  grin)
2.  I started selling things out of the home that I knew he would miss
3.  I interrupted his daily routine (relocated his hygiene products and shaving/bath items as well as his underwear)

I also did not do the above list in the order listed and I did not do them ALL TOGETHER - I also did it really QUIETLY WITHOUT SOUND or advance notice of any sort - and I would do them randomly and then go to the gym or the spa or visit friends for hours and hours and hours so that I am not seen or heard when he comes home and I MAKE SURE THAT I intentionally am not around as his frustrations peak as they usually peak whenever he cannot find this or that (he would arrange his personal items according to shape, size and color) - after a few times of not being able to find this or that - he immediately stopped the silent treatment and when he stopped and started speaking and asking me - "where is this and where is that and what I am doing and where am I going" - I decided on my own to extend his silent treatment routine FOR HIM - just because he wants to now stop doesn't mean that I am going to stop from staying silent so "I continued to stay quiet until I was ready to talk"

When I turned and flipped "his silent treatment" back on him - he stopped - but it took me some time to figure out how to rid my life of that nonsensical manner of his.

If you have a problem with me - we need to discuss it - or I will make you join me in the "hell you create" in your attempts to control me.  You will be my partner in that hell.  Adults should learn to be adults or pay the consequences that comes from irrational behavior.

If true love begins when romance ends

I don't want it.

Romance should always be part and parcel with true love  it might not be as strong in later years BUT IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE THERE.  When we stop holding hands or stop desiring the presence of the other - I no longer want to be party to the relationship.

If our Fond and warm feelings that we have are BURIED in the heart and ARE NOT actively shown to each other; but ARE FREELY given to other family members and close friends - but we no longer show and share that with each other - I won't remain in a relationship that dwindles to that level - I need more than that with a spouse or a mate.

Our prenup agreement must have that stated within its confines "romance and romantic gestures must remain in the relationship   kiss "- so he isn't shell shocked, blindsided or surprised or starts talking nonsense about "Americans this or Americans that" when I decide to sign myself out of the relationship.

You have to actively and continuously show me that you care for me - same as I will show him.  If I am the only one submitting loving gestures and he has resigned himself to "only living" the relationship by just going to work each day, eating and sleeping and doing a routine that is devoid of "romance".  He can sign up for that lifestyle choice with someone else who values it much more than I do.

FamilyRe: Police Wives Advised To Be Good Mothers And Wives by ShyOne(f): 4:10pm On Sep 23, 2011
maclatunji:
Be good mothers, police officers’ wives told

Wife of the Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Mrs Comfort Onireti, has charged members of the Police Wives’ Association (PWA) and Police Officers’ Wives Association (POWA) in the state to be good women and mothers.

Speaking during a familiarisation tour to the Challenge Police Division, Ibadan, on Tuesday, she said prayer was the master key to success in life.

“To a high level, we need to support our hus-bands financially, in order not to weigh them down with all the financial responsibilities in the home. We need to embark on trading to sup-port our husbands,” she said.

While calling on them to always clean their environment, she said this would make the environ-ment more accommo-dating, adding that “by so doing, we will not push our husbands away from home.”

She said[b] “we should learn how to prepare delicious food at home and the food must be well presented to our husbands. We should not quarrel with our husbands, children and neighbours. If we need to correct them, we must do it with love.”[/b]

Mrs Onireti encou-raged the police officers’ wives to form a strong association where they could meet and educate themselves.

Also speaking, the Divisional Police Officer, Orita-Challenge division, Mr Banji Lawal, noted that since the arrival of the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Moses Onireti, the crime rate in the state had reduced.

He assured that police wives in the division would work with the new chairperson of POWA in the state, to ensure that her tenure was remarkable.

Earlier, the POWA secretary in the division, Mrs Kemi Oyekanmi, had informed Mrs Onireti of problems confronting police wives in the area.

http://tribune.com.ng/index.php/news/28515-be-good-mothers-police-officers-wives-told
Pukkah:
It is high time these wives started discussing the issue of N20 extortion/collection of the roads by their husbands. Or don't they benefit from the takings? What's their take on this and accidental discharges by their husbands? Do they realize that their husbands' organization is the most corrupt in the country?

On another note, is there an association known as "Police Husbands' Association" (PHA)? The husbands also need to meet to discuss the issues noted above.
Excellent thoughts and ideas - let's encourage them to be put to use - ASAP

@ OP

Bride and Groom Price should be paid to BOTH FAMILIES.

A woman isn't the only treasure being given.  Men are breadwinners, leaders and if you get a VERY GOOD ONE - he is worth his weight in gold.

He could have married someone other than you - I think that tradition should be revised so that groom prices are paid to the families who have birthed, educated, trained the man who is also given to the woman.

The woman is given to the man and the man is given to the woman.  They are lucky to have EACH OTHER and the families should be compensated for the years of work that went into the product(s) of that marriage.

RomanceRe: So What Is Wrong With Spending Money On A Woman? by ShyOne(f): 8:12am On Sep 23, 2011
Wallie:
Times are tough especially in Nigeria but a guy should only spend on a girl that’s his. If you and your girl are in a serious committed relationship, then there’s nothing wrong in solving her financial problems if you’re capable of doing so.

I believe in having your wifey represent you whenever she’s outside. By “represent”, I mean that she should give every woman something to be jealous of – her clothing, hair, jewelry, car and bag should make other women talk:-) It ain’t trickin if you got it
! But she has to be your wifey because a relationship with a girlfriend might not last long enough to recoup your investments.

Even when you’re not in a relationship with someone, there’s nothing wrong in picking up a restaurant bill but, at the very least, she should pretend to want to pay half herself.
A woman is a reflection of her man/mate

and vice versa

A man is a reflection of his woman

The face that you present to everyone around you - represents the taste of your mate.  You look horrible - he looks horrible and vice versa.  I love seeing my man looking good and have bought him many threads and in turn - he has done the same for me.  Beautiful African clothing.

There is NOTHING wrong with spending money on each other.  I love wearing what he has bought for me - it just makes your feel so special and loved.
