Do any of you hate it when...

Question

... you're mad or upset and you don't know what to say, so you don't respond back to messages for a while-- not because you're giving the "silent treatment"-- but just because you need time to think and dissect your feelings to understand them before you respond, and then the person gets mad and says "why are you ignoring me???"

Answer

When I'm mad at my fiancée and we fighting and I don't know what to say I will text I don't know what to say or I don't know how to explain what I'm thinking/ feeling

Answer

my bf used to get so frustrated with me when we were new and would fight and I'd give him "the silent treatment." he is more of a work it out and move on type of person. now he understands that I need time to figure out how to express myself in a calm manner without saying unnecessary things.

Answer

My husband and I are both the types that need time to process and give words to our feelings, so we often give eachother the silent treatment when we fight. We've always been able to come together an hour or two later and talk it out.
