Silent Treatment

What idiot came up with the idea of "the silent treatment"?

I know that those of you who watch Whitney have seen that I am not the only one that believes it is a ridiculous practice. The only person who suffers is the person who is upset. they are still having the argument in their head and fuming and thinking about it. They are still upset. They are just upset alone. Well, I am a believer in togetherness. If you want to happy together, then we can be pissed together.

This is a discussion that I had with a coworker who has been married about 4 times. He is currently dating a woman and said that he likes the idea that when they have a "blowout" she can go home. I said, "we don't go home." He admitted that even if she leaves "she calls, blowing my phone". He enjoys making her wait and hearing her break- going from angry, to not so mad, to kind of apologetic, to we need to talk and work this out. He found himself a good one because that is not how things would go down with me.

First of all, I am not leaving and giving you the chance to avoid me. I also would not date someone for four years, but that is not the point of this story at all. I told him story to illustrate my point.

When Husband and I first started dating, we got into a huge disagreement. He said, "I understand if you want to stop talking to me." I had to stop him there and let him in on how I get down. I told him, "I would not give him the satisfaction of not talking to him."

I advise all women to reconsider the folly of the Silent Treatment. You get an ulcer and he gets a night off.

That is it a good deal.
