I've been married to a couple women who do this to burn off steam I guess. When she gets home, I still get the silent treatment. If I pulled this on her, she would be extremely angry.

Here's my question, is this more common behavior from women with you guys than I think?

They can be moody at times, guess it depends on which nerve you struck. If you’re sorry say so, if not … “let the suffering begin” 🤔

Saying I'm sorry isn't a problem but it usually isn't received very well. I'm better off just keeping my mouth shut 100% of the time.

Well, I guess I'm not alone. Time for me to get back to work and fishing I guess. Unfortunately, doc wants me to wait at least 2 weeks yet. That can't go by fast enough.

Feel lucky it was only an hour or two and not a week or month or four.
We’ve been married for over 39 years, so maybe they just need time sometimes to get their heads on straight.
I still prefer that reaction to having a knife thrown at me (by ex-wife). 🥴

Whether it’s innocent or deserving. If you feel it was appropriate, then stand your ground and let her deal with it how she wishes. If you feel it was inappropriate then I guess that you need to try to explain yourself. If she doesn’t want to talk about it then that’s on her. You tried…JMO 🐟on

Wow! I think that knife thing would be a one time thing for me. If she wants to go for a week or a month, that's her call but the door swings both ways.

Maybe before she flips out and takes off, she could give me an opportunity to explain myself. Apparently not.

The silent treatment is just another form of manipulation people use to make people feel guilty or uncomfortable. Having been married three times with four kids, I've seen every form of manipulation there is available.
It used to piss me off too. Not anymore.

It may have been a “one time thing” if she had hit me (Lol), but I ducked and the knife landed in the kitchen sink. No blood - no foul!
I guess….. 😅

I like it when you've done something wrong but you don't know what it was. You ask the offended party and the response is that you know what you did wrong. Then she goes back to being mad at you and gives you the silent treatment and more. After a few weeks she'll start talking to you like nothing ever happened. Well so much for my peace and quiet time.
