My ex used to do this all the time. If not physically going away he would refuse to speak to me for days on end which I feel was a way to punish me. Not that I had done anything wrong but often I would end up apologising to him because I felt so alone and upset. I think I was very dependant on him emotionally and couldn’t cope with him doing this. I now realise how unhealthy this relationship was but at the time I could not make sense of it. I hope that by posting on here you will see how many similarities there are with these abusive relationships. Also the Freedom Programme helps to understand abusive behaviour in a relationship.
