When you're getting the silent treatment, what's the best way to deal with it?
I'm having trouble remembering back to kindergarten to select the right approach 
ummmm well of course ........ dearie me I put my foot in that one .... tell your boy to lift his game
So he doesn't want to speak with you, he is pissed with you obviously. If you have been a bad girl then apologise, we all make mistakes. Don't take it to heart, the silence is meant to hurt you and twist you. If he observes you are suffering then its more to his enjoyment. Chin up and carry on.
In this situation i simply got on with my day, realising the method of punishment will soon end.
Oh well I'm going to be the elephant in the room and come out and say it. Us men are simple folk, there's very little a woman can do to upset us that isn't immediately forgetten in exchange for felatio.
It's like that simple act presses our reset button and all is good with the world!
If I'm not saying anything to my wife it's not because I'm "giving her the silent treatment". It's because I'm angry and I don't think talking about it is going to do anything but end up in a fight. Or maybe I just don't have anything nice to say. I'd rather she stay quiet and I stay quiet and sooner or later the mood will break on it's own and we can have 'the talk' and clear the air. I'd rather let it happen in it's own time that try to have 'the talk' when we're angry.
what about a large whiteboard /chalk board /printed sign on the front door saying "whats the problem?"
if I came home to that I would realize i was p*ss*ng somebody off and would ask why.
men can be a bit slow

What odd reply's. 1 and only thought - just enjoy it
Not enough of the silent treatment goes on in my house.
It may be his time of month, be supportive and don't react to his taunting.
This will only cause more problems.
The more understanding you show now the easier it will be in the long run, some men once a month and generally on the full moon will suffer from what is only a natural bodily function.
Once it is over things will go back to normal.
Try not to be insensitive as his hormone levels will be through the roof.
And also it's clear to me a few men replying to this have clearly broken what is called " the bro code" this is disappointing to see.
Fraternising with the enemy unbelievable you must all know about filthy girl germs surely didn't you learn anything in grade 1.
If those early fundamental principals were not ingrained in you at that age than its clear the next 11 years of schooling were clearly a wasted time
Reminds me of the two guys talking.
One says "My wife hasn't talked to me for two months."
The other says "Really. I'll give you $10,000 if you will swap her for mine."
There's a difference between not talking as in I don't care much about you, and as in I'm angry (which I find childish as you say).
I don't talk much to the missus when we've gone around a question much and every time it gets worse. I just avoid and go do other things.
Drama is a form of control, and I'd rather eschew drama. Call it silent treatment if you will...
needsalt- it might be time to bounce up to your fella, grab him by his nose, ear or something he is rather attached to give said appendage a tweak and while you have his full attention ask him to spill his guts..
every now and then a head on attack is needed as we blokes can be both pig headed and a bit thick sometimes!

does that mean she ' not talking...... actually not making any noise with her mouth???????? And you want to stop that blissful situation????
