To all the wives in thr group

There's a stereotype of wives being angry/upset with their husbands. Either jokingly or in all seriousness.
I too am currently in a silent war with the husband even though we are generally a very happy couple.
Why do we women do this? I'm trying ro understand the psychology behind this behaviour.

It's not peculiar to women, or to heterosexual relationships, there is usually responsibility on both sides for failing to communicate, emphathise, or compromise.

I am blessed in being married to a woman with autism traits. Silent treatment and other passive aggressions are simply out of the question as she is unable to process these. The alternative is a lot of frank talking and quite hard work at times, but does wonders for a relationship.

We are trying to pass on positive communication skills to our daughter.

@SunshineGirl Thank you for appreciating autistic traits.
