What is ya'lls take on being given the "Silent Treatment"? How do ya'll deal with that or handle that? What do you think about it?

I think it works as a way for both parties to calm down. It does not work as punishment, as in an "I'm not talking to you" power play.

@uncalled4 Well, in this instance, neither party was upset. There was no argument. I requested alone time, that person failed to read their text & showed up an hr later. I said, I guess you didn't read my message. Thus, she left, pissed off obviously, beings I'm getting the silent treatment. So to me, that is her power play. I'll show HER, I just won't talk to her. And yes, passive aggressive behavior pisses me off. She should have read her text, considering she was the one to ask the damn question I answered. smh

So She's pissed off I want alone time?? Not like we had "plans"....passive aggressive is avoidance of HER feelings and obviously she was mad, but why? Not my fault she didn't read her text. And why punish me by not talking to me now? WTF
