Silent treatment is a very manipulative form of abuse

Communication is one of the most important things in a relationship. How can you settle the problem if you don't talk? There's a saying my mom used to say and I try to follow it. (don't go to sleep mad). I'm not saying I've always followed this but it makes you think. I mean what if something happened to one of you the other will be left with a lot of regrets. Like not speaking for so long over something that was probably a stupid disagreement.

Well, my boyfriend and I have awesome communication- we are never silent for any more than 5 or 10 minutes. We always talk- if there's a disagreement (which usually it's just little things) we will compromise with each other, because we know that it takes two to make it right

Two weeks!? Gezz do you even remember what the disagreement was about? Sounds to me like you both need to grow up and be adults. How can you both be so stubborn?? Look what ever the fight was about is really no longer the issue....what is the issue now is that neither of you want to "give in". Lets face it couples argue that's normal....but to let it go this long is just silly. I suggest that you be the adult and tell him its time we talk. Get this straightened out.
Best of luck

Two weeks is too long... way too long. Someone needs to break the ice or one of u is going to end up seeking comfort over the issue. If you seek comfort when things are not good with your spouse, bad things are definately bound to happen, no matter what your "intentions" are.

Time for the both of you to wise up and get over it. If the two of you did not have your own minds there could be not relationship. Speak up and let him know the time to brood is over and either go forward with the relationship or get out. It is that simple.

two weeks is terrible girl. You should have started talking the next day at the latest.
ofcourse it happens but when there is a break in communication for over one day, it is serious.
So unless you guys are being childish and competitive who will break first, I suggest you don't play with this little arrangement of yours.

He is "stone walling" you, its called passive-aggressive behavior or (immature!) He wants an apology or he wants his way. He feels he is right and he is trying to control your behavior through his silence. His stubbornness will destroy the marriage.
I left mine when he started that. You can't pound your head against the wall when he's doing that.
Get help for yourself so you know how to deal with it. I don't have much hope for him, but you can grow!

Two times it went from the evening to the next morning. But we normally stay angry for an hour tops.

Ask him if the silence is deafening, and is it really worth the strain on you relationship. Good Luck
