Let's say after a disagreement or misunderstanding, your boyfriend/girlfriend choose to stop talking to you. He/she rejected all your calls, your messages, and you can't even get a response online. As in all modes of communication, he/she opt to ignore you. What are you going to do? Let's say it's already night time, so how are you going to sleep? Actually it already happened to me, it's really a difficult situation. What I did was I stayed awake for the whole night, I didn't stop sending her messages. I apologized and pleading for her. I thought she can really resist me but fortunately she responded before the sun arise. Lol! We're ok now. How about you, have you already experienced this? How difficult for you if your boyfriend/girlfriend opt to be silent? What are you going to do? I would be glad to hear from you. Have a nice day! Happy myLotting!

You have a good and patient heart sweetie. In this situation, i am exactly the oppisite. Ignore me and i will make you suffer for at least a week. Ignorance is a two way game, you just have to know how to play it. And i always break all the rules. TATA.

I personally did that to my boy,I don't know why I have to it but I just feel loved when hes trying to make a way to contact me, I feel my importance of me to him, I don't actually do it all the time when I feel irritated and hes come up something like his being unreasonable in some situations and I think keeping myself quiet will make him realize his faults,and sum up to an apology,and admitted his faults.Beside being quiet for sometimes can less the arguments, will avoid further conflict. Happy myLotting!

Hi miss lovely cloudie! It's nice to see you here. It's good that you have also experienced it, but you're the one who opted to be silent. Well, you have the same point and thinking with my girl. You just did it for him to realize his fault. Well I'm very fortunate that my girl didn't really resist me for a very long time, she responded to me before the sun arises. Yes, I realized my fault and I apologized to her, and since she loves me too, she accepted my apology and we ended up embracing each other. Lol! Well, just don't let your boy suffer too long, since his a part of your heart and you are in a relationship. Love should always prevail in any arguments. Thank you for your response. Always take care and happy myLotting!

It is the usual game of the lovers to go on the silent mode when something is not right between them but it is only a temporary move as everything will eventually come to normal. Sometimes you need to give space to your gf so she can think deeply.

Hi zandi! Yes, I learned to understand that girls really need some space sometimes. Although I used disagree with that, I now accept that fact but hopefully when they become silent, it will not stay for a long time. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

I did the same thing to you i never stop until he cannot forgive me. I'll send all the apologized i know until he morning or another night is come. But if i feel that i'm tired and really tired of doing that i stop nad never do that until he is the one who send me the message. But i never expect anything from him even a short message, i'll let him come.

Hi mods! It's really a difficult situation. It's hard to accept that they can resist us. What we should do is just don't stop on apologizing and explaining to them, and since they love us, they can't really resist us and they can't take to see us suffering too much. I guess by this situation, we will also know how much they love us and how long they can resist us. We have no choice but to give up if our body and mind already collapses. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

This is the most irritating attitude a girl can possess. i don't like it when my girl suddenly goes silent. i usually do more irritating things so she'd speak up. for me, communication is one of the vital keys in having a good relationship.

Hi frontvisions! I also believe that communication is very important in a relationship. But sometimes even it's hard, we just have to accept their decisions, since we love them. We just need to be patient and understanding. Maybe they just want to know how patient we are. Haha! Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

How ironic?! You get angry when girls speak up for their selves. You say that our voice are so irritating. then if we didn't talk or speak up its also irritating? theh what do girls need to do then? I think some girls dont really express their feelings when there's a fight between their partners because they think that the fight would get bigger and it wouldnt stop. Acceptance also plays a part on a relatonship. sometimes, you must accept your partner's attitudes and decisions to make your relationship work.

i understand markmoney. aryann, if you read my post again you'll notice that you've misunderstood what i was saying. i said it irritates me when girls tend to go quiet. i actually like girls that speak up. i consider it an opportunity to find out what is going on.

hello ,markmoney .first,i want to say it is so interesting of your user name .and then ,i just more or less say something about what you asked . to be frank,i don't really like my boyfriend keep silent after quarrel. but i think there is less men will do like that .keep silent always be likely to female ,right ? so if my boyfriend go out and keep silent ,i think i never try to get touch with him .never mind ,if he decide to do that ,i think i also keep silent ,although i know that is not the good way to solve problems .

Hi tina! Well my username was simply made by combining my name and since this is a money-earning site, I attached the word money. That's why I come up with the username "markmoney". About the topic, yes I also agree that usually girls are the ones who do this. Girls doesn't deserve to suffer. Sufferings are more for guys. And guys are the ones who used to propitiate girls. Yes, silence is not the best way to solve problems, but if that's the decision of girls, we will just respect it. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

It never happened to me. I never experienced having that kind of difficulty. But I have a suitor before. I remember he offended me with his act and he keeps on texting me for whole day. The reason was I did not reply to any of his text messages that became a reason why he was so worried. He even went to our office to speak with me personally but bad thing I did not went to work that day because it was my day-off. After a week we accidentally met on the road and he apologized. He was really worried. He said he can’t eat and whenever he laughs he always remember me and he can’t laugh anymore. During that time I already forgotten about him and I forgave him instantly. I believe they are having a bad time during that situation because they love their special someone and to hurt them is a big mistake. Even the relationship between friends it happens.

I don’t think that there is anything more hurtful than the silent treatment! I would rather fight, yell and scream than have my partner go silent on me! Fortunately my husband doesn’t keep quiet for too long but he has the tendency to not want to talk about the argument and wants to forget whereas I want to discuss it so I can move on. That is the difference between males and females I guess! I’m glad your girlfriend is talking to you again!

It can be difficult when your boyfriend or girlfriend opts to not talk to you after a fight. However, in my experience, I've also found that sometimes it is best to not pester them about talking to you. I've been in one major fight in my life and I kept pushing the issue to get my husband to talk to me and it ended up with a physical fight. After it was all said and done, he told me that it would have been better worked out if I would have just let him be for the night.

Giving the cold shoulder is one way for the girls to get the guys attention. And it works most of the time.

Hey, I used to do that before and I realized it was not good. I really felt that a girl is easily bored with that kind of man. But I was the one who was so silent that I did not even started a conversation. If given a chance to go back, maybe It will be different.lol

Hi raul! Yes, if it is hard for us, it would be harder for girls. So we should not really do that. We love them so we should not let them suffer. They are girls, weaker than us. So we just need to be more patient and understanding. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

Hi mark! I could definitely relate to your post. I hate "cold wars!" I believe silence hurts more. I've been with this situation a lot of times with my boyfriend. When we get into a misunderstanding or disagreement, and I was on fault, he would not talk to me or worse, I can't reached him through text messages or calls. I really, really hate that feeling! One time, for almost a day I haven't heard from him, and every time my phone beeps, I immediately hope it was him. I got so worried, I couldn't focus well on what I'm doing. When he finally responds, I could feel the relief washed over me. After that incident, we talked about it and told him I'm not comfortable and it worries me a lot if I haven't hear from him. We should talk it out rather that treating each other with the cold shoulder. It does not do any good. Even if I'm the one who is angry, I make it a point not to be silent for a long time, coz I don't want him to feel the same way. It's really a difficult feeling. Couples should talk out their problems instead of avoiding it.

Hi princess! I'm sad to know that it can also happen to a girl. Guys can take sufferings more than a girl. Well, yes, it's really a difficult situation when your boyfriend/girlfriend is ignoring you. You are getting very worried. It's really hard to take specially if you know to yourself that what you have done was not really a big sin for him/her. Well, I believe that when you love a person, you can't really resist him/her and you can't really take to see him/her suffering so hard. Well, what important is after the silence he/she made, it will still end up to reconciliation and it will really gives us a big relief. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

It's good that your girlfriend didn't get mad at you when you didn't stop from sending her messages. For me, when I opted to remain silent I don't want to be bothered especially with bad words. Of course, I will cease from being silent. It's just that when I'm angry, I just want to be left alone. I don't want to engage in any conversation when I'm angry especially if my partner hurls unmentionable words against me. I suggest you better ask your partner what she really prefers in times like these.

Hi missingribs! Hahaha, maybe for you girls, it's fun to make your guys suffer, because in that way, you can see how patient we are. Well, we can take sufferings since we love you, though it's really hard. Just don't make it too long, coz it will not be good if your boyfriend/husband will suffer a lot, and you may feel guilty at the end. Lol! Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

Hi, friend. I had been in such a situation for numerous times with my ex-boyfriend. He was kind of narrow-minded and when it was my fault, he just kept ignoring me until i apologized to him many times. Sometimes, it could be as long as a week. If it was his fault, i felt angry too but wouldn't refuse to communicate with him for as long as a week. After considerable times of "cold wars", i felt so tired and broke up with him. Guys are supposed to be broad-minded and considerate. Besides, i didn't push him too hard. Anyway, i've never regretted for breaking up as there wasn't a promising future in staying in a relationship with him.

Hi mark, before when my husband and I are not yet married, that happened to us too. It is hard because I am the type of person who wants to talk things out whenever there are problems and he is the type of keeping silent when there are problems. His silence is sometimes irritating because I don't know what's going on his mind and his feelings. Then I learned how to communicate with him as time pass by. It's just as matter of understanding and give and take. Now that we are married, whenever we have problems, he is still the same and of course handling the situation is up to us. Quarreling is never to answer on any kind of problems.

Yeah, usually I would cry myself to sleep. Hehehe. Good thing though that it only happened a couple of times, and my boyfriend and I talked about it, and we agreed that if ever we have an argument, we need to talk about it and not just be quiet and not talk to each other. It's really the best solution to all kinds of arguments.
