Managing the silent treatment….

[Healthyarchive]

How nice it feels to not have to put up with the silent treatment any more. I have just looked at my mobile phone & it reminded me of all of the times when I used to look at my phone feeling so miserable, needy and asking myself what I had done wrong. I would often sent repeated messages as his deliberate silence & withholding made me feel so on edge. I would send him a message, something very innocent or even essential, confirming plans etc. In response he would deliberately not reply for some time, I often felt it were to punish me, I would imagine him looking at his phone, seeing it was me, feeling satisfaction that I am contacting him and then making an informed decision to completely ignore me. This was so hurtful and made me feel really needy.
