Sometimes not enough can earn the silent treatment

Would be only too happy to apologise if I could only figure out what I have done wrong



You might have done or not done something last year.

If you've done something wrong; apologies + presents.

If you know what you've done and you think it aint wrong; double silent treatment, make your own food, come home late and iron your own clothes.

If you have NFI WTF her problem is, a good ...., and she'll usually tell you afterwards.

Perhaps he just needs a new board and there is some kind of blockage...

Maybe you could buy him one??? (as long as it is not one of those square ones that have those long strings attached to them)...

In my experience, it is usually buying too many boards that gets me in trouble

You guys crack me up. I'm going to get all my advice here from now on

It is actually a male friend I was worried about when I asked this question. A woman at work also upsets lots of people by randomly freezing them out. I'll try the flowers, massage and pants dropping and let you know how I go

Go out with the girls and stay out late.

That'll jolt him to talk to you.

If he's that sensitive, then he's probably insecure as well.

Sorry does not mean that much anymore. People say it without being truely repentant for what they have done. Sorry is misused all the time and have effectively become meaningless.


I am sorry you feel that [}:)]way......

If he is giving you the silent treatment, doing the same back will get you nowhere.

If you keep talking to him nicely but genuinely (don't lay it on too thick), he will eventually crack.

Police do this all the time when interviewing people. They just keep talking to them until they can't help themselves from responding.

It has been two days now and even I have trouble holding out much longer than that.

Don't let him get a whiff of an idea that you have been discussing this on Seabreeze or you will be in big trouble.

Whoa hang on, it is not your bloke?

Well geez the answer is obvious.
Move to WA and let us help you.

Still silent - then he has lost his voice and suggest seek medical advice
Cheers
