Guys only please! What is your opinion of getting "The Silent Treatment" from a girl?
Specifically from a long term friend, girlfriend, or wife. I don't mean from an acquaintence or love interest that you don't have some emotional investment with already.
Does it anger or irritate you? Or are you indifferent, maybe even likeing it that she's not talking? Why do you feel as you do?
Also do you find that it is effective in getting your attention when she is upset with you? Or would she be better served by confronting you rather than giving you the cold shoulder?
Honest heart felt answers please!

I'm very patient and my wife and I talk about everything, BUT, If she played that card, I would give her time to cool off, and if I was wrong, I'd make it right. In four years it hasn't happened because we communicate and respect each other.
However, I've known some guys over the years who who just said 'whatever' and went and got drunk. Duh!

Hmm, it really is an exciting remark. i must be curious to carry close even if the most harsh comments come more effective from adult males or from women, at the same time as directed in the route of girls, or maybe if it truly is about a similar. some human beings are purely assholes, inspite of the reality that. there is not any reason to say such issues as "Porker! Fatty!", which serve no objective yet to target to make the guy sense worse about themselves. some emotionally immature human beings derive happiness from making different human beings unhappy.

long term friend: o well, don't want to talk to me i won't talk to you
girlfriend/fiance/wife: immature. if you are willing to work out a problem that shows a lot about a relationship. ignoring me isn't going help anything and will just make it worse.
luckily i'm engaged to a woman that is willing to work with me during our fights. our biggest problem is that we can't stay mad at each other.

if she made it clear to me that she was upset with me i would do everything i could to correct my behavior.
"silent treatment" would probably get my attention, but so would just confronting me in a serious tone.

I'd rather her tell me her feelings so I can understand her and change myself for the better.
