How to fix the silent treatment?

Whenever we have a big argument, husband usually takes a day to sleep on it or when he’s angry still uses the silent treatment. It makes me very uncomfortable, unloved and it doesn’t resolve anything. Eventually he gets out of the funk and starts talking. He just sweeps it under the carpet. I’ve said to him, we can’t resolve anything like this, he says “time will heal it and move on” that’s how he’s parents do it.

I need the connection again, so we talk about it, squash it and all is good. I don’t understand why some are making it so difficult? Besides, it shakes up the whole family dynamic. I think we are acting like 2 immature children. Life is so damn short to be so damn stupid!

99% of the time I am the initiator and I have no problem saying sorry but I’m really not going to initiate when I didn’t instigate an argument. It can give off the impression that my husband can do this and there are no consequences on his part
