Why the Silent Treatment is Emotional Abuse

My husband (40) and I (33) have been married for almost a year and together almost 6 years. He has always had a very short fuse and when we fight he never accepts any blame or error and I always (90% of the time) have to apologize to live our normal lives again because I am a very anxious person.

His work has always been very demanding of his time, but lately he has been working overtime and weekends and I got a little annoyed.

Last Friday he came home late and I was already in bed waiting for him. He got very cuddly and I thought he just missed me, but no, he just wanted to get intimate, I didn’t, I was tired and upset he’s been working so much but nevertheless I agreed.

Naturally, I couldn’t get my mojo on and stopped in the middle of the act and he saw I was mad. He immediately said a lot of nasty things to me and we went to sleep.

I thought about talking the next day, but the next day he just got up and went to work right away and he didn’t even acknowledge me.

This has been going on for 3 days now and It is killing me. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to even think about separation or divorce. I cry 2-3 times a day, I am not eating.

Imagine this: you and your partner have an argument. Emotions run high, words are exchanged, and tempers flare. But instead of open communication and resolution, your partner retreats into a chilling silence. They refuse to acknowledge you, answer your calls, or even make eye contact. Days, even weeks, might pass in this icy silence, leaving you feeling confused, hurt, and utterly alone.

What’s It Like To have Narcissistic Personality Disorder

whats it like to be a narcissist

As an actual narcissist, I’m writing anonymously to avoid being exposed. I may not be officially diagnosed with NPD (nor I’d ever want to be), but two of my psychologists, including the current one, described me as "a narcissist", and being a psychology student myself, I think it’s unfortunately accurate.

My self-image, it’s quite inconsistent. Sometimes, I do feel grandiose, but in many aspects I am objectively above-average, at least.

What is the Meaning Behind David Lynch’s Eraserhead?

Immersing oneself in the enigmatic world of David Lynch’s ‘Eraserhead’ is akin to stepping into a dream – or perhaps more accurately, a nightmare. This seminal work, which marked Lynch’s debut as a feature film director, is a labyrinthine exploration of the human psyche, filled with surreal imagery, unsettling soundscapes, and a narrative that defies conventional interpretation.
