I do not do this. My mother did this to me as a kid all the time and it was fucking horrible and damaging.

the idea of a parent doing this is kind of horrifying, i can't believe adults think it is an okay thing to do to other adults tbh

Yeah, it was pretty awful. It's withholding as a form of punishment and it's neither effective nor healthy. I remember trying to talk to her and she'd just look at me and say, "I'm not speaking to you, remember?". Sometimes it would last more than a day.

There's a difference between this and a bit of mild sulking, right? At least a difference in degree? The silent treatment being more mean and calculated?

dmac - ha, right? sigh.
jmm - yes I think this being more mean and calculated is exactly right.

Extremely passive aggressive stuff, and the longer it goes on the worse it gets. The very essence of disrespect.

i think i used to do this! i agree, it's a horrible. i still do a variation of it now which is ignore people's phone calls or block their number/delete them on facebook. it's pathetic.
