find somebody who genuinely wants to talk to you instead. Leave him to his "silence."

Weeks???

Seriously, communication is important in a relationship. I think that you and he need counciling.

He is an a-hole....and emotionally abusive. All of my disagreements with loved ones end with us "talking it out", forgiving or walking away.

are you constantly yelling at him? give the guy a chance to speak, maybe he can't get a word in edgewise because you're nagging at him so much.

my mum used to do it to my dad all the time when I was growing up. no wonder they got a divorce.

If you really aren't talking for weeks at a time, then WTF are you still doing in the relationship?

Why do I feel like you're not being entirely honest with us?

Clap your hands close to his ears (can damage your ears).

Be extremely mature about it, and give him the silent treatment back

Well, first off I don't know the details so I don't know your particular situation. However, I do know it is the norm rather than the exception for adult women to have the maturity of young teenagers when it comes to how they view relationships with adult men. That is, they typically refuse to accept any responsibility or accountability. So, statistically, it is certainly likely you are giving a wholly inaccurate one-sided picture. I know, in past relationships, what I have had to deal with. Woman does stupid sh*t then plays dumb as to why I'd be pissed. I try to "talk" and she continues to play dumb or completely refuses to accept any responsibility for her actions, so that gets me really p*ssed. So, once that becomes the trend in the relationship, the man's options are thus: 1) End the relationship, 2) Smack her around or intimidate her enough to where she will actually 'break' and admit what a manipulator she is, 3) Argue incessantly, 4) Be her b*tch boy, or 5) Just not say a word. 2) is no longer an option unless a man wants to go to jail for a scandalous ho. 1) is extreme to do without hoping for change. Like I said, your situation could be one of the exceptions, so I can't say on your particular case. Just might wanna look in the mirror, maybe get some counseling (you or both of you).

If he acts like he doesn´t give a **** about your feelings,.... he probably doesn´t.

That is a control tecnique he is using on you.

Leave him and find someone who wants to hear what you have to say.

Just ignore him and pretend that his being silent doesnt bother you at all.I am sure he wont be silent anymore.

I can relate to your feelings. It is painful and it hurts. It is not easy to live like that. It is easy to say just walk away but it is not that simple. Marriage life is full of surprises and complications. I wish there are easy answers ...

Tell him you are going to find a MUCH less selfish person to share your life with, he doesn't own you and it is your right as much as his, to be shown respect. Blackmail is dispicable.
Bloody men !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weeks? How the **** do you live in the same house with someone who makes you so angry you don't talk to them for weeks?

That's so ridiculous- either the issue is him for allowing it to drag on so long or the issue is him torturing himself instead of getting a divorce.

Is it the first time ? Why is he so upset ? I think you may need to think about the reason, not only his current behavior...
