Hi all<P>I need some questions answered and would like some insight.<P>Why do spouses use the no talking technique?<P>What is their reasonsing to use this tactic?<P>How do we overcome this childish behaviour?<P>Is useing no sex in a relationship<BR>to control the OS,s behaviour or attitudes right, and is it simular to the silent treatment?<P><BR>The reason I ask is that my W is now using the silent treatment on me. When I thought things where improving after Monday's delightful meeting.<P>This technique has been used on me in the past with sucess everytime as I always gave in just to keep the peace.<P>T<P><BR>T

My H is the king of the silient treatment. I found out he even used it effectively with his sister when they were children.<P>My counseler says it is about control. You can't fight it. They have the power to speak or not.<P>I guess it is part of the distance they feel from us too. And in my H case it reinforces the I have nothing to talk about with my spouse, but the OW and I can share everything feelings. Plus, there are so many things he is hiding and lieing about it is probably risky to talk to me... something might slip out.<BR>Lora
