Women don’t always have to have a reason to bemad at us men Earl.

Enjoy it while you can.

Oh yes — Blessed silence!!

Oh Earl! You are sooo right. I remember how much I looked forward to those mini-vacations. I appreciated that expression " Silence is Golden ".

wish my wife would give me the silent treatment it would be so peacefull!

I know guys who do the same thing, it’s not exclusively a female trait. It’s powerplay, whoever does it. You just have to learn not to play.

I like that silence.

Don’t look now but Rosco is going to eat all the doggy treats while you’re on your mini vaca

Enjoy the peace, Earl. Unfortunately, it won’t last long.

Sounds like the grave yard scene in "Kill Bill #2“we like the Silent Treament” as Uma’s gettingBuried alive.

I forgot my cell at home. Called wife from work, giving a number where I could be reached. Wife got off work 4 hours early, unable to reach me. Mad because I picked her up from work 4 hours late. Told me, " Next time don’t forget your (flippin’) phone." Looked at her cell, she had transposed 2 numbers in my work number given on a prior date. Feeling vindicated, I told her, ‘Next time check your (flippin’) messages." That was when I got the silent treatment. .I did everything I should have, yet it was my fault she didn’t check her messages. .Women, you can’t live with them… (you can finish the rest)

Opal could be mad about something she remembers from 20 years ago. They have the minds of a elephant…

Hear, here!!! Eccl 7:28, Prov 31:1-3 et al

Is it just me or does it seem that most if not all the poster so far have been men?

All those years I wasn’t looking at the bright side.

If you don’t know I’m not going to tell you!

Dang it, Earl, you just gave away the Husband’s Great Secret! :)

HEAR, HERE Earl!!! Oh, the wisdom of the ages.

Earl has a good outlook.

I don’t give anyone the ‘silent treatment’ on purpose, but because I dislike confrontation I tend to clam up and not say anything. It’s a coping mechanism that can sometimes be taken as either the silent treatment or passive aggressiveness when in actuality it’s neither one. Some people just don’t get that you’re not being quiet because you’re mean; you’re being quiet because that’s how you deal with things. Different strokes, folks!

that’s great earl. but you should have realized by now that a hot woman makes a lot more noise…hee hee.

After 34 years of that kind of “treatment”, I found someone else to talk to.
