Is It Normal for Husbands to Give the Silent Treatment? 😳🙄

Lately, my husband has been giving me the cold shoulder—he just stops talking to me out of nowhere, especially since Tuesday. He doesn’t tell me what’s wrong, just acts rude and distant whenever I’m around. I used to ask him why he’s mad, but it happens so often that now I just let it slide. Still, it hurts. I keep wondering if I did something wrong, but I can’t think of anything—unless he thinks I cheated or did something really out of line. It’s so confusing and honestly, it makes me feel invisible. Is this normal for men to do to their wives? Or am I just overthinking? I wish he’d just talk to me instead of shutting me out. Have you ever dealt with this? What did you do? I just want to feel like I matter again. 😩🤷‍♀️🥲 #MarriageStruggles #TrustIssues #SilentTreatment #RomanticRelationships

This is a common tactic amongst narcissistic abusers. Look into it. It's not only a form of punishment but of control. Red flag alert! It may be time to leave.

No, they’re narcissists and they’re punishing you! If you can leave, get out before he ruins you like mine did to me. Please no lectures on how I could leave. When I say I’m housebound and crippled from him, believe it!

Absolutely not. It’s a form of abuse. It’s punishment and manipulation. Make it clear to him that if it doesn’t stop he can get the hell out and never have to talk with you again. Partners communicate.

it's a control issue and possibly a personality issue on his part. it sounds like he might have some narcissistic traits.

He's controlling you. Don't show him any emotion. Save $ and get the hell out asap!

Don't blame yourself if you know you have not did anything wrong. Most of the time they have did something wrong and feeling guilty .I would start enjoying myself and ignore him instead of worrying about what is on his mind. if you are married he should be able to talk to you about whatever is going on good or bad and let you have your input toward the situation. Pray and keep your head up.
